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
