Mammoth Insulation
Mammoth Insulation offers a comprehensive H1 calculation service that is free to the architectural industry. Calculations can be either thermal modelling, or calculation method.
Thermal Modelling has proven to be the most beneficial way to show compliance. Why? Because it considers all factors: building orientation, insulation build ups, solar gains and losses, shading, along with weather data for the area. The results show the true heating demand in winter, cooling demand in summer, and overall building performance. What this means for you is that through Mammoth's modelling, you can confidently convey to your client how well the house truly performs and you're able to look at where money can be invested to reduce the energy demand if need be.
It's important to remember that on certain designs, simply adding more insulation is not necessarily going to help the pass. With a large amount of solar gain, more insulation products may increase a failed result. Shading, window selection and overhangs are just a few of the critical factors that are part of the modelling equation. In order to understand the insulation build-up requirements, modelling the design tends to offer up a fair solution and can often offer cost savings over calculation and schedule method compliance pathways. Scope to taper back window requirements along with product is often what's found using this compliance method.
Not only does thermal modelling use only the necessary insulation and windows, unlike other compliance means, it actually takes into account real world data, so that things like overheating can be avoided.
