OVERVIEW
INSULATED CONCRETE FORM
MODULAR WALL SYSTEM
The System
MARKET CONTEXT
▪ Shortage of AAC Blocks
▪ Skilled Labour
▪ Push for additional housing stock
▪ Thermal performance/Fuel Poverty
▪ Speed of construction
▪ Government push for adoption of MMC/Modular
HOUSING
POSITIVE SOLUTION IMPACT
• Plays a significant role in the reduction of fuel poverty with a property utilising
UNiBLOCK the structural walls will deliver UV values of 0.16
• Due to the structure of the walls the structural performance of the life cycle of
the property is greatly enhanced
• By adopting a structural NVQ lower technically qualified people can gain the
skills required to build with the UNiBLOCK system rapidly. A great building
method for those less educated to be trained and deliver back into the
community whilst generating self-worth.
REDUCED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
• Products are manufactured offsite and delivered to site ready to
assemble
• Products can be assembled and cut near to site if required with mobile
cut shops easily placed at a convenient location to the construction
site, reducing CO2 emissions for large scale building developments
• With all products pre-cut prior to being delivered to site the
improvement in overall project times are a given.
• Less clutter around the construction site improves safety for all
concerned
DECREMENT & THERMAL MASS
ICF has a decrement value of 0.03
This means only 3% of external heat gain enters
building
Decrement delay is 9 hours; any heat is released in late
evening
By Comparison
Brick/Cavity/Block has typical decrement value of 0.25
This means 25% of external heat gain enters building
AIR TIGHTNESS
Typical air tightness values:
0.73 ac/h (under the n50
Passivhaus definition Heated
Building volume at 50pa)
Or
0.14 m3/(h,m2) under the
surface area Q4pa calculation
