Thermal Inertia Team

24th September 2008

PolySteel UK and the Thermal Inertia Team are working together to provide you with the most comfortable, energy efficient and affordable home.

  For the technically minded PolySteel UK has initiated a series of tests at the National Physical Laboratory in partnership with NPL, Kiers, David Ball Group, Aggregate Industries, BASF The Chemical Company, H H Celcon, Glasgow Caledonian University, The Concrete Centre and the Insulating Concrete Form Association to demonstrate how different kinds of walls with different thermal mass when submitted to dynamic temperature changes to one side of a wall (what happens in real life) can effect your energy usage giving support to the fact that ‘U’ value isn’t everything..

Tests are being conducted on various wall types including: Timber, Brick, concrete block, exposed concrete and PolySteel. The tests will  provide evidence to show how effective each wall is at saving you money on your energy bills.  Results are expected early 2009.
