ACCREDITED CONSTRUCTION DETAILS (SCOTLAND)
(FOR THE LIMITATION OF THERMAL BRIDGING AND AIR
LEAKAGE IN LOW AND MEDIUM RISE DOMESTIC TYPE)

Status of this document
This document provides guidance on one way to meet some of the requirements of
the functional standards set out in Regulation 9 of the Building (Scotland)
Regulations. There is however no need to follow the guidance in this document, as
there are other ways of meeting the functional standards. Access to the Technical
Handbook is available on the website of the Scottish Building Standards Agency at
www.sbsa.gov.uk, and it may be downloaded free of charge.

------------------------------------------------------------------

1 INTRODUCTION

Background
Improved energy performance measures for new construction work are now
reflected in the Scottish building regulations. Achieving these standards generally
means that buildings are more highly insulated and have better heating system
efficiencies than ever before, whilst simultaneously retaining a good level of
construction that limits:
air infiltration; and
heat-loss through junctions in the fabric.

The Scottish Building Standards Agency recognise the need to provide guidance on
how to address these two issues, whilst at the same time avoiding the risks which
can arise. The details presented in this document do not endeavour to attain
absolute levels of airtightness that will result in a change in the way that dwellings
are currently ventilated, but when followed with care will limit air infiltration to an
acceptable level. The details can be built using the construction skills currently
available and minimise the risk of both surface condensation and interstitial
condensation. The arrangements shown however go further than simply minimising
condensation risk, to making a useful contribution to reduce heat-loss at junctions of
building elements, where traditionally it can be difficult to maintain the insulation
levels that can be achieved within the elements themselves.

This document provides two levels of guidance. Specific guidance related to each
selected construction type and on each construction detail. Supplementary guidance
is also provided on associated issues including the selection of insulation, the
selection of membranes, air infiltration and some examples of construction issues.

Limitations on use
The details illustrated here do not form part of the Technical Handbooks but are
intended to provide sufficient information to enable users to achieve the level of
performance presented in these documents. These details are generic in nature,
show principles of construction and for this reason they are not dimensioned, nor
drawn to scale. It should be noted that not all permutations of thermal insulation are
shown; it is acceptable to provide multiple layers of insulation. Examples of this
would be, in the timber frame wall an additional layer of insulation with a preserved

cavity may be provided to the outside of the sheathing board, or in the masonry
cavity wall an insulated lining board may be installed in addition to the cavity
insulation. All details are suitable for use in domestic type buildings up to six storeys
high.

Details are provided for the most common construction types:
masonry walls with external insulation
masonry cavity walls with full fill insulation
masonry cavity walls with partial fill insulation
masonry walls with internal insulation
timber frame walls
steel frame walls
miscellaneous junctions, e.g. door thresholds and roof windows.

Aim
The main aim in providing these details is to illustrate a ready means:
to manage thermal loss (to reduce energy requirement)
to avoid interstitial condensation (which can damage construction)
to avoid surface condensation (which can lead to mould growth and endanger
health)
to limit air leakage (to reduce energy requirement)
to prevent rain penetration (which can damage construction and endanger
health).

The common factors which are illustrated in each detail are:
the position of insulation (to limit thermal bridging)
the position and extent of ventilation (to control condensation)
the position and the different performance characteristics of the building
membranes (to manage air and vapour movement and to prevent water
entering the building)
the position and type of cavity closers and cavity barriers (to minimise air
movement and in the case of the latter, to provide fire resistance). Where
these are proprietary types, it is assumed for the purposes of these details
that they incorporate a DPC which is capable of directing moisture away from
the inside of the building.

Other requirements of the Scottish building regulations which are not illustrated by
these details, but which should be considered by the designer include:
thermal performance of elements (U-values)
structural
fire resistance and flame spread
ventilation (of rooms)
airborne and impact noise (including flanking sound)
damp-proofing arrangements.

Supplementary Guidance

Selection of Insulation
The selection of insulation material and the choice of thickness of insulation to be
provided will be influenced by a number of factors which are determined by the
building procurer and the designer (e.g. architectural features). These fall outwith
the scope of this publication. In terms of construction of elements the key issues are
a combination of the following:
thermal transmittance (U-value) recommended in Scottish building regulations
thermal conductivity of the insulation material
thermal performance of the non-insulating part of the construction (e.g.
linings and structural components)
interaction of the insulation material and the remainder of construction (e.g.
insulation position in relation to ventilation of the element or bridging of
insulation by fixings).

The U-value calculation is outwith the scope of this document. Guidance on how this
can be done and the other options available are in Section 6 of the Technical
Handbooks.

Layers of differing insulation materials
Where different types of insulation are used within a construction, it is recommended
that the insulation nearest to the outer surface of the construction be the least
resistant to the passage of water vapour. This is to reduce the possibility of
condensation forming in between the insulation layers. For example, where mineral
wool is used in conjunction with polystyrene board, the mineral wool should be the
outer layer.

Where it is essential that the outer layers of insulation has a higher vapour resistivity
than the inner layer then condensation risk analysis should always be carried out.

Selection of Membranes
The details illustrate the location and characteristics of the membranes related to
their function in resisting water, water vapour or air. These characteristics are
fundamental to the success of the construction and selection of the correct
membrane should be made with care.

Vapour control layer
A vapour control layer should be used:
principally to reduce the spread of water vapour throughout the construction
element, where condensation can do harm to the building materials.
as a secondary function to improve the airtightness of the building fabric.

Typically this layer is provided on the inside face of the insulation in, timber or steel
frame walls, rooms in roof spaces, flat roofs and it may be incorporated as an
integral part of a proprietary wall lining board A vapour control layer is a material
with a vapour resistance greater than 200 MNs/g.

Vapour permeable or breather membrane
A vapour permeable or breather, water-resistant membrane should be used:
as a primary protection to vulnerable construction materials from the harmful
effects of precipitation during the construction process; and
as a secondary protection to vulnerable construction materials from the
harmful effects of precipitation, throughout the life of the building; and
to allow water vapour to escape from vulnerable construction materials that
would otherwise be entrapped due to lack of ventilation.

Typically this layer is provided on the outer face of the inner leaf of a timber frame
wall or above sarking insulation where the space between the tiles or slates is
ventilated. In the case of the former the membrane has a vapour resistance of no
more than 0.6 MNs/g and in the case of the latter, it has a vapour resistance of no
more than 0.25 MNs/g.

Non-vapour permeable roofing membrane
A non-vapour permeable, water-resistant roofing membrane should be used:
as a primary protection to vulnerable roof construction materials from the
harmful effects of precipitation during the construction process; and
as a primary protection to vulnerable roof construction materials from the
harmful effects of precipitation, for example the covering to a built-up felt flat
roof directly above the insulation; and
as a secondary protection to vulnerable roof construction materials from the
harmful effects of precipitation, for example as a roof tile underlay where the
roof space is ventilated above the insulation.

This type of layer has a vapour resistance of more than 0.25 MNs/g.

Sequence of construction
Some of the details presented in this document can only be followed effectively if
consideration is given to the sequence of construction. This is important with regard
to the placing of insulation materials and particularly where insulation needs access
from two sides to allow correct positioning. An example of this is at the eaves of a
roof where it may be necessary to fit the insulation which links the wall and roof
insulation before the soffit boards are fitted.

Dense Block
For the purposes of this document a dense block is one with a thermal conductivity
greater than 0.7 W/mK.

Thermal Conductivity (lambda - )
Thermal conductivity is a measure of a materials ability to conduct heat. It is
measured in W/mK and is the quantity of heat (in Watts) which will pass through 1
square metre of the material 1 metre thick for each degree difference in temperature
between one side of the material and the other.

Any quoted thermal conductivity of a given material is, therefore, independent of its
thickness.

Air infiltration
The details shown in this document contain measures designed to reduce air
infiltration. This depends on the form of construction and the level of workmanship
but the objective is to form a definable, continuous air barrier around the dwelling.
Ways of preventing air infiltration should then be considered at every penetration of
this barrier.

Particular care on site should be paid to:
joints between structural components e.g. wall to floors
joints around components and opening within walls
service penetrations plumbing, electrical and ventilation.

General
close any vertical ducts at the top and bottom where they meet the air barrier
(e.g. boxing round soil vent pipes)
seal any service penetrations through the air barrier
select the appropriate sealant or gap filler for the size of gap and degree of
movement anticipated.

Masonry Construction
ensure continuous ribbons of adhesive are used to fix to dry lining at
perimeters of external walls, openings, and services on external walls. The
importance of correct sealing of dry lining on dabs needs to be stressed, as
this is a key area of infiltration and can seriously affect the overall ventilation
rate
use joist hangers to support floor joists
seal under skirting boards where dry lining is used, or on suspended floors.

Timber Frame
ensure DPCs are turned up behind sole plates and lap with vapour control
layers; alternatively seal with mastic or a gasket between the DPC and sole
plate
place bead of mastic on timber floor deck before positioning wall panels
(timber ground floors and intermediate floors)
ensure sheet vapour control layers are properly lapped at junctions, and/or,
ensure any vapour control plasterboard is jointed in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions
always return vapour control layers into door and window reveals, head and
sills
cut vapour control layers tight to electrical outlets and seal at piped service
penetrations, (with tape or sealant as appropriate)
ensure all breather control membranes overlap each other and are stapled in
place.

Steel Frame
all joints between rigid insulation boards be lapped or sealed with tape
approved by insulation manufacturer
ensure sheet vapour control layers are properly lapped at junctions, and/or,
ensure any vapour control plasterboard is jointed in accordance with
manufacturers instructions
always return vapour control layers into door and window reveals, heads and
sills
cut vapour control layers tight to electrical outlets and seal at piped service
penetrations.

Examples of some common construction issues

Poorly positioned cavity insulation
The cavity wall insulation should be installed tight to the outer face of the inner leaf.
This will prevent air circulation between the block and insulation reducing the
performance of the insulation layer.

Debris bridging the cavity
Clear all debris including mortar droppings from the cavity as work progresses to
prevent cold bridging occurring between the inner and outer leaf.

Insulation cut short of the cavity closers
Ensure that cavity insulation is cut to suit boards/batts that tightly butt against each
other and against surrounding cavity closers and loose fill insulation.

Service Penetrations
Service penetrations should be core drilled to minimise damage to the insulation
layer and facilitate remedial air sealing. Any damage caused to the insulation layer
by penetrations through the air barrier should be made good following their
installation. This can be achieved by filling any large gaps with loose fibrous
insulation, expanding foam insulation and sealing with a thin mastic fillet. This
includes behind bath panels, shower trays, kitchen units and into service shafts.

Socket outlet/ switch plates
Where the air barrier is formed by a plasterboard lining it is recommended that a
continuous ribbon of adhesive is applied around the hole prior to installing the
plasterboard. This will reduce air leakage through the sockets/ switches into the void
beyond. Proprietary gasketed socket boxes and membranes are also available
where required.

Window and door frames
Air leakage is often found to occur between window/door frames and the surrounding
construction. Mastic seals are often required between plaster finishes, window
boards and frames.

Recessed light fittings
Recessed light fittings may permit air leakage where they breach the plasterboard
ceiling line into the voids or lofts beyond. They should only be allowed to penetrate
the primary air barrier if the units are of an air sealed type or a further secondary air
barrier is formed beyond.

Extract fans
Termination of extract fan ducts should be installed and sealed to prevent air
leakage occurring through plasterboard finishes. Where appropriate a continuous
ribbon of adhesive should be installed around the penetration. Where possible the
ducts should also be sealed to any masonry inner leaf. Extract fans may also be
fitted with external flaps to minimise air infiltration through the unit.

Stairs
Plaster finishes are typically omitted from voids below staircases. Air infiltration may
then occur through mortar joints in poor quality masonry into the externally ventilated
wall cavities. Plaster finishes should be installed below stairs or a thin render/parge
coat shoul be applied to the surface of the masonry.

Dormers in room in roof
The plasterboard linings surrounding the dormer will form the air barrier. Care
should be taken to ensure that the linings form a continuous air barrier and are fully
sealed to the window frames.
