Property Requirements
Heat loss and U- values
U-values are used to measure how effectiveelements of a buildings fabric are as insulators. How effective they are at preventing heat loss. The lower the U value, the slower heat will be lost, the better it performs as an insulator. Building regulations impose mandatory minimum U- values for new build properties.
All proposed heat pump applications have to be determined whether or not an ASHP is suitable for the property. All properties lose heat through the building fabric they are made of. The U-value of that building fabric determines the rate of heat loss from the property. Over the years, the U-values of building materials and components has massively improved, therefore, the newer the property, usually the lower the heat loss factor.
