Cavity block construction in Co. Galway
The "Cavity block construction" project in Co. Galway
The "Cavity block construction" project in Co. Galway showcases the construction of two homes with a floor area of 320m² each. The construction involves cavity block construction with internally insulated plasterboard, emphasizing energy efficiency and thermal comfort.
Key details of the project:
Construction details:
- Two homes with a floor area of 320m² each.
- Cavity block construction with internally insulated plasterboard in Co. Galway.
Thermal performance:
- Floors: 0.19 W/m²K
- Walls: 0.15 W/m²K
- Roof: 0.16 W/m²K
- Rooflights: 0.81 W/m²K
- Windows (Overall U-value): 1.0 W/m²K
Heating and ventilation system:
- Nilan Compact P with UVP5 (5KW outdoor Air-to-Water heat pump): This system is installed, providing both ventilation, hot water production and heating capabilities. The UVP5 is an outdoor air-to-water heat pump with a capacity of 5KW. It is connected to zoned underfloor heating circuits, contributing to energy-efficient space heating.
- Zoned underfloor heating circuits: The underfloor heating circuits are designed for efficient and comfortable heating distribution throughout the homes.
- NiLAIR ducting system: The installation includes the NiLAIR ducting system, enhancing ventilation and maintaining indoor air quality.
The project in Co. Galway illustrates a commitment to energy-efficient construction, with a focus on insulation and thermal performance. The use of Nilan Compact P with UVP5, zoned underfloor heating circuits, and the NiLAIR ducting system aligns with modern standards for creating comfortable living spaces. The emphasis on insulation and energy-efficient heating contributes to the overall energy performance of the homes, providing residents with a high level of comfort while minimizing energy consumption.
