Finally Ward's free calculation service uses IES (virtual environment software) to analyses the proposed building by using a benchmark Onotional building' to compare and demonstrate compliancy with building regulations.
Checks are performed on U-values, heating, mechanical ventilation and cooling systems together with an assessment of measures implemented to avoid solar overheating.
The results of the analysis are suitable for inclusion in submissions to Building Control authorities.
Results indicating whether design details will pass or fail are available during the data input, speeding up the process and enabling different variables to be manipulated in order to achieve the desired result.
Another advantage of IES is that parts of the building can be analysed separately to cater for mixed use.
Results to date have proved very successful, with significant savings being made in terms of finding the optimum combination of building elements rather than simply opting for a thicker envelope.
The company manufactures a range of LPCB (Loss Prevention Certification Board) and FM (Factory Mutual) approved insulated roof and wall panels, all featuring a comprehensive Wardsure panel guarantee, which covers thermal and structural performance up to 25 years and coatings up to 30 years.
