Global Warming is an Issue that effects us ALL

In 1997 38 industrialised nations from across the world established and signed The Kyoto Agreement. The main aim of
the agreement is to combat Global Warming by ensuring that members of the agreement reduce the amount of carbon emissions or greenhouse gasses. Each member was given an individual target they MUST achieve by the year 2012.
The UK agreed to reduce it’s emissions by 12.5%. To achieve this the government is introducing numerous green policies

The government cannot insist that every single existing window in the Uk be replaced. All window and door installations after 1st April 2002 must comply with the revised Part L document. For installers to comply they must commit to a
local government scheme called FENSA (Fenestration Self Assessment Scheme). To achieve Part L the windows U value must be a maximum of 2.0, and for a door where the glazed area is more than 50% of the entire door.

Indicative U value = 2.0W/m2K

Indicative U value = 1.5W/m2K
Standard FENSA Band B

What is a U-Value?

A U-value is the measurement of which heat is lost through a material. The lower the heat loss through a
material the lower the energy wasted and the lower the U-value
