Here some of the cool facts about cool roof tiles. 1. Cool roof tiles help reduce energy costs by keeping buildings cooler, cutting down on the need for air conditioning. 2. They are designed to reflect sunlight and emit heat, reducing the urban heat island effect in cities. 3. Cool roof tiles come in various materials like clay, concrete, and metal, offering durability and sustainability. 4. These tiles can prolong the lifespan of the roof by reducing temperature fluctuations, which can cause wear and tear. 5. Installing cool roof tiles can contribute to green building certifications and sustainable construction practices. #CoolRoofTiles #EnergyEfficiency #SustainableLiving #GreenBuilding #UrbanHeatIsland #ClimateAction #RoofingSolutions #SaveEnergy #GreenConstruction #BuildingMaterials #ConstructionInProgress #BuildingSite #UnderConstruction #ConstructionUpdate #BuildingProgress #SiteUpdate #ConstructionLife #BuildingProject #ConstructionZone #WorkInProgress

THE IMPORTANCE OF AIRTIGHTNESS IN ENERGY EFFICIENT HOMES In our pursuit of understanding energy-efficient homes we take a look at the importance of airtightness. 🏡 Understanding the importance of airtightness in energy-efficient homes is crucial for maximizing sustainability and comfort. Since 2006, new buildings in England and Wales must undergo airtightness testing, highlighting its significance in reducing energy loss. Older properties often lack airtightness, leading to increased heat loss and higher energy bills. Airtightness, controlling unwanted air leakage, is pivotal in modern construction. Meeting building regulations ensures a maximum level of air leakage, with Passive House standards setting even stricter requirements. Enhanced airtightness minimizes warm air escaping, resulting in substantial energy savings. Improving airtightness involves sealing gaps around windows and doors, upgrading old fixtures, and utilizing airtightness membranes during insulation. Blower door tests assess a building's airtightness, measuring air changes per hour and identifying leakage pathways. Smoke pens aid in pinpointing specific areas of air escape. While enhancing airtightness is beneficial, ensuring proper ventilation is essential to maintain indoor air quality. By prioritizing airtightness, we can create more sustainable, energy-efficient homes for a greener future. #EnergyEfficiency #AirtightHomes #Sustainability 🌿🏠 Remember, sustainability does not have to be expensive or complicated.

"Fantastic concept. It would’ve taken forever to level our steeply sloping garden, but the ground screws made life much less complex (and far less exhausting to try and lug concrete etc up the hill!). Thanks, Luke, installation is so quick and efficient - we wouldn’t hesitate to use the ground screws again." We place a high priority on collecting client feedback to ensure we consistently deliver exceptional, personalised services tailored to individual needs.

Discussing Air Tightness and Blower DoorTesting with Corbett Lunsford, Matt Hoots, and Chris Laumer-Giddens: https://j.mp/3iMcT0F As part of the #1920sMakeoverATL whole house deep energy retrofit, Matt and the building team are running pre-diagnostics tests on the home which will help them address performance issues relating to safety, comfort, and energy efficiency. The idea is to protect workers and make the right choices for the home and its future occupants. So, how leaky is the #1920sMakeoverATL home? Corbett, Chris and Matt think it might be the leakiest home that’s been tested on record! (That would be pre-construction of course.) Stay tuned and follow along the #1920sMakeoverATL project - and add your voice. What's the leakiest home you've tested or seen? How leaky is your home?
