Getting Started! by Geoffrey C. Pitts Pdf

This guide will help Canadian exporters of housing systems and components, to better understand the UK regulatory framework, to obtain the necessary approvals and to identify potential trade obstacles as well as regulatory issues. It focuses on the market that will be of most interest to Canadian exporters: new-build, low-rise residential buildings up to three storeys above ground; principally detached, semi-detached and row (terraced) housing. This guide covers wood-frame house construction known as timber frame housing in the UK. It also considers all the related components such as finishes (linings), claddings, insulation, vapour control layers and joinery. "Getting Started" is organized into a number of sections: l Section 1 describes The Building Regulations 2000 for England and Wales that apply to housing up to three storeys. This section describes the Canadian export potential. l Section 2 gives some essential information which needs to be considered even before an exporter can begin getting started. l Section 3 describes the way that UK timber frame houses are built to meet these standards, gives an overview of the similarities and differences of Canadian housing design and where necessary, identifies additional measures needed to meet the requirements. l Section 4 provides guidance on the UK procedures for approvals and certification for housing products and systems. l Section 5 gives an overview of the UK housing warranty schemes. l Section 6 provides references and information sources for exporters. Appendices provide additional information including: the Housing Corporation "Scheme Development Standards" for social housing; an overview of building regulations for Scotland and Northern Ireland, and a glossary of building and construction terms.

Moisture Control Guidance for Building Design, Construction and Maintenance by American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers,Ashrae,United States Enviornmental Protection Agency Pdf

Moisture control is fundamental to the proper functioning of any building. Controlling moisture is important to protect occupants from adverse health effects and to protect the building, its mechanical systems and its contents from physical or chemical damage. Yet, moisture problems are so common in buildings, many people consider them inevitable. Excessive moisture accumulation plagues buildings throughout the United States, from tropical Hawaii to arctic Alaska and from the hot, humid Gulf Coast to the hot, dry Sonoran Desert. Between 1994 and 1998, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Building Assessment Survey and Evaluation (BASE) study collected information about the indoor air quality of 100 randomly selected public and private office buildings in the 10 U.S. climatic regions.

Grenfell and Construction Industry Reform by Steve Phillips,Jim Martin Pdf

This book sets out the urgent changes to practices and behaviours required to build a new building safety regime in the UK and prevent a similar tragedy to the fire at Grenfell Tower from reoccurring. The inquiry into the fire and the independent Hackitt Review revealed deep-rooted and unpalatable truths about the current state of the UK construction industry. Dame Judith Hackitt was scathing in her assessment of the construction industry denouncing it as "an industry that has not reflected and learned for itself, nor looked to other sectors" and defining the key issues as ignorance, indifference, lack of clarity on roles and responsibilities and inadequate regulatory oversight and enforcement tools. Invaluable for all construction professionals who wish to take greater responsibility for the safety of residents in their buildings, this book explains why these major safety reforms are required, how they are to be achieved and the progress towards them to date.
