Setting the scene • Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) is being driven by legislation – Materials, Components & Systems are all being developed at a greater pace than ever before in the Construction Industry to provide greater Energy Efficient Buildings. • What are the Materials, Components & Systems we have to lend on in the future? 2 (25)
Bench Mark – Traditional Build? Traditional Build in the UK - Often referred to as a ‘brick & block’ cavity wall, but in reality the first cavity wall constructed as we know it was not in evidence until the early 1920’s! (Cavity not insulated at that time). ‘Traditional’ – Typical Example: Brick or Stone External Skin 50mm Cavity (Non Insulated Traditionally) Block Inner Skin Clay, Concrete or Slate Tiled Roof Internal Loadbearing Concrete Block Walls (Foundations and Ground Slabs not Considered for this discussion) 3 (25)
