Barney,
I would have no problem recommending any building system, but like everything, you have a rolls royce version and you have lada versions.
there wont be an onslaught jollyman
perhaps 'sufficient' might be an acceptable adjective.... but read the article fully and you will see why 'inadequate' is more applicable.
remember that cast in situ concrete was 'sufficient' in the 40's and 50's... cavity walls with no insulation was 'sufficient' in the 60's and 70's
cavity partial fill maybe was 'sufficient' for 80's and 90's...... but no longer. The industry standard is now no longer adequate in todays climate of energy efficiency and sustainable building.
Its like anything, any structure with walls and roof can be considered a dwelling... its the make up of it that determines the comfort of its occupants.

I did not say there were not necessary, simply that there are OTT IMO ( this is why Irish houses are so drafty and struggle to keep any heat in)The ventilation regulations (part F) are a necessary requirement to ensure the health of a building and its inhabitants.
my point exactly.. one needs to take into account the u-value of all the elements that makes a building rather than just the u-value of the wall.bacchus, i dont understand what issue you have with window/door u values?? and the roof??? the lowest u value is required in a conventional roof (0.16).... and the vast majority of contractors and self builders out there still cannot insulate the roof properly to comply with the regs.....

Take windows for instance.. many people/companies just talk about the u-value of the glass/glazing, and forget about the rest that makes a window.
