In addition to evaluating the cost and energy performance of these systems, the project will provide sustainable and affordable housing for residents.
Working in partnership with Glenrothes based timber frame developer Lomond Homes, the A. Proctor Group and Energyflo Insulation Technologies have delivered 2 and 3 bedroom general needs houses using the revolutionary Jablite Dynamic Frame insulation system. By channelling incoming ventilation air through the building fabric, the Dynamic Frame system allows the timber frame walls to meet u-values of 0.15, in a 140mm stud, with no increase in wall depth, maximising internal space for the residents, while minimising their energy bills.

In addition to the dynamic insulation, the project also utilises the Reflectatherm vapour control layer and Reflectashield-TF 0.73 breather membrane, also supplied by the Proctor Group,
completing a comprehensive system-based approach to enhanced energy performance.
