Heat Loss and U Value Design Tools
When complete this page will have a full range of tools that will enable heat loss and U value calculations
Presently the calculations are simplistic in nature but will grow in complexity with time and further government guidance.
Loving using Visual Studio Code and watching LearnWebCode on U tube
God knows what I am going to use this button forExcel and HTML calculations
Technical spreadsheets and HTML derivatives that have saved me time over the years.
New Guidance and Legislation
Guidance is contrantly changing in an atempt to upskill the workforce and align with the competency philosophy that has been adopted.
Horizontal Scanning
God know what this means, but it had to make an appearance. May provide a few non contraversial comments about how the industry is shaping bymoving the deckchairs around the patio.
What I am working on
Between and under rafter insulation to lean to roof
This calculates the U value of probably the most common roof construction at the moment.
Warm Deck Pitched Roof.
In progress converting the spreadsheet
Cold Deck Pitched Roof with multifoils
This calculates ceiling joists taking into account their individual loading conditions
Warm Deck Flat Roof
With difficulty achieving cross ventilation and the complexity associated with cold deck flat roofs, warm deck is the most effective method of achieving compliance with Part L and Part C (Condensation Control)

Digital Building Regulation Support in progress
The intention is to provide digital support and technologically move Building Contol into the next chapter. Its hard to believe we are still stuck in the world of pdf format while the rest of the industry has complete co ordinated federalised models
With years of experience in building regulations, compliance and technoligal solutions, I understand the challenges faced by Building Control. The tools are designed to simplify common scenarios, we all know the situation we are attempting to demonstrate will never be decribed or follow diagrams provided in the guidance documents.
It would be great if subjective guidance can be converted in objective guidance
Who knows it may be possible
