This workshop follows on from research undertaken by Beacon which found that timber framing forms, on average, over 34% of a wall. This is much higher than the 14% - 18% framing content generally assumed by both regulators and the industry. The more timber framing, the less insulation - and the poorer the thermal performance.

The 2020 AGM includes a presentation on the work Beacon has done over the last year: The first wall project discovered there is more framing in external timber-framed walls than generally assumed by regulators - this has implications for heat loss A pre-feasibility study for what a project to develop a low carbon, warm, dry, […]
