  • Insulating Thatched Roofs This Guidance Note Has Been Prepared and Edited by David Pickles
    Energy Efficiency and Historic Buildings Insulating Thatched Roofs This guidance note has been prepared and edited by David Pickles. It forms one of a series of thirteen guidance notes covering the thermal upgrading of building elements such as roofs, walls and floors. First published by English Heritage March 2012. This edition (v1.1) published by Historic England April 2016. All images © Historic England unless otherwise stated. Illustrations drawn by Simon Revill. Our full range of guidance on energy efficiency can be found at: HistoricEngland.org.uk/energyefficiency Front cover: Thatch repairs in progress. © Philip White. Summary This guidance provides advice on the principles, risks, materials and methods for insulating thatched roofs. There are estimated to be about fifty thousand thatched buildings in England today, some of which retain thatch which is over six hundred years old. Thatching reflects strong vernacular traditions all over the country. Well-maintained thatch is a highly effective weatherproof coating as traditional deep thatched eaves will shed rainwater without the need for any down pipes or gutters. Locally grown thatch is a sustainable material, which has little impact on the environment throughout its life-cycle. It requires no chemicals to grow, can be harvested by hand or using traditional farm machinery, requires no mechanical processing and therefore has low embodied energy and can be fixed using hand tools. At the end of its life it can be composted and returned to the land. Thatch has a much greater insulating value than any other traditional roof covering. With the right choice of material and detailing, a well-maintained thatched roof will keep a building warm in winter and cool in summer and has the added advantage of being highly sound-proof.

Each matter should be discussed with professionals who will ad- vise the best way of solving problems. When deciding how and where to place roof windows you should consult an architect, who will help you to choose the right window type depending on the proposed use of the loft. He will also give you advice concerning the window’s glass surface area decided by the ratio to the total floor area and also where to place the win- dows to gain the maximum benefit.

  • Technical Summary
    TM NEW CONSTRUCTION HURRICANE TECHNICAL SUMMARY 2019 FORTIFIED HOME™ Technical Requirements INTRODUCTION New Home This FORTIFIED Home™ standard helps homeowners in coastal areas strengthen their houses against hurricanes. Incorporating FORTIFIED features when repairing, rebuilding, or renovating your home will transform your house into a more resilient and durable property. The FORTIFIED features focus first on strengthening and protecting the roof because it is the home’s first line of defense against severe weather events. This includes things like sealing the roof deck to prevent wind-driven rain from getting inside and using a roof covering that is rated for the wind speeds in your area to reduce the chances it will lift up or blow off during high winds. Protecting the openings in the house, things like entry doors, windows, and especially garage doors, is also important. Creating a continuous load path by tying the roof to the walls, the wall above to the wall below, and the first floor walls to the foundation will significantly strengthen your home when Mother Nature strikes. There are three levels of FORTIFIED Home: 1. FORTIFIED Roof™ — focus is on the roof 2. FORTIFIED Silver™ — focus is on roof overhangs, opening protection, gable ends, and attached structures 3. FORTIFIED Gold™ — focus is on tying all components of the structure together For more detailed information about how to make your home stronger, safer, and more hurricane-resistant, please visit www.DisasterSafety.org/FORTIFIED. You can also follow us on Twitter at @DisasterSafety and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/buildfortified. Page 1 of 7 FORTIFIED HOME™ Hazard: Hurricane Technical Requirements Applicable where the design wind speed for Vult in accordance New Home with ASCE 7-10 (or 7-16) exceeds 115 mph, or Vasd in accordance with ASCE 7-05 exceeds 90 mph.

  • Influence of Roof Windows Area Changes on the Classroom
    sustainability Article Influence of Roof Windows Area Changes on the Classroom Indoor Climate in the Attic Space: A Case Study Erika Dolnikova * , Dusan Katunsky , Marian Vertal and Marek Zozulak Institute of Architectural Engineering, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Technical University of Kosice, 042 00 Kosice, Slovakia; dusan.katunsky@tuke.sk (D.K.); marian.vertal@tuke.sk (M.V.); marek.zozulak@tuke.sk (M.Z.) * Correspondence: erika.dolnikova@tuke.sk; Tel.: +421-055-602-4162 Received: 28 April 2020; Accepted: 17 June 2020; Published: 20 June 2020 Abstract: Windows are a complex part of building design and provide a considerable benefit, including to school buildings. For the evaluation of the daylighting conditions prevailing in classrooms, the daylight factor (DF) was considered as the most appropriate parameter for indicating the quantity of admitted daylight. The DF values and CIE overcast sky were calculated using Velux Daylight Visualizer 3 software. The task of the paper is to compare various roof window openings in relation to the level of daylight in the attic, looking to optimize the use of the attic for teaching. The indoor air temperature has a general influence on comfort in the interior, in addition to daylight. In winter, the situation is not critical. The thermal insulation properties of packaging structures are sufficient. The situation is worse in summer, due to the fact that the heat-storage properties are undersized and there is excessive overheating of the indoor air. Four variants of roof windows and their influence on the overall microclimate in the attic are compared. The variant without roof windows is a suitable solution with regard to minimum overheating, but the worst situation for daylight.
