42 FUTUREBUILD SHOW PREVIEW
Quality engineered products for a new engineering department
sitting on the corner of Exhibition Road and Imperial College Road. Architects Pascall+Watson were employed
I
to devise a sensitive yet practical design for the change of use of this four storey building. As part of the plans, thought had to be given as to how to minimise carbon consumption, as well as reduce energy use and wastage in line with the College’s Environmental Policy. A significant amount of heat and
energy can be lost through poor performing windows and due to the planning restrictions on the new Dyson Building, the numerous beautiful original single glazed windows of all shapes and sizes had to be retained. Therefore, Pascall+Watson specified secondary glazing to improve their performance. Over seven different types were installed to match the varying styles; large sweeping
n 2016 Imperial College London acquired the neighbouring disused Royal Mail Post Sorting Office from the Science Museum,
specified, to prevent distractions for the researchers and staff. The windows overlooking the busy thoroughfares of Exhibition Road and Imperial College Road were fitted with a cavity to provide added noise insulation, creating quiet conducive spaces for learning and meetings. It was decided to enhance the security of the ground floor windows with Secured By Design accredited units, the Police Preferred Specification. The new secondary glazing in this state-of-
curved headed casements were treated with matching sightline Series 41 side hung casements, tall traditional box sash windows were treated with Series 20 and 25 vertical sliding units, along with a tricky installation of high-level stairwell port hole windows at the top of the building. To increase energy performance further, the units were glazed with 6.8 low-E laminate glass. On the façade overlooking the service area of the Science Museum, obscurity glass was
the-art engineering facility, sits perfectly in this repurposed former sorting office. The rooms are now quiet and warm, retaining the elegance of the original architectural features. Selectaglaze is a leading specialist in secondary glazing, established in 1966 and Royal Warrant Holder since 2004. Selectaglaze will be exhibiting at Future Build 2020 from 3rd-5th March.

THERMAL BRIDGING SOLUTIONS: IMPROVING BUILDING ENVELOPE PERFORMANCE
Thermal bridging is a big concern in the building industry, it has been recognised as a significant factor in building envelope heat loss. By reducing heat flow through a building’s thermal envelope we can reduce energy consumption as well as prevent potential condensation issues. Building codes have increased requirements of building enclosures requiring ‘continuous insulation’ without thermal bridging. Thermal break materials can be used to reduce heat loss in wall assemblies, transitions and structural connections throughout the building envelope. They can minimise building energy loss and improve building envelope performance. This course will provide an overview to thermal bridging, discussing the reasons why it occurs as well as how it can be prevented. This course will also compare building details with and without thermal break solutions to highlight the importance of determining accurate values of thermal transmittance.
