UK: Knauf Insulation UK has launched a free online 3D U-value calculator for steel frame rainscreen facades. Building Design News has reported that the tool provides thermal performance calculations based on architectural plans. Knauf Insulation UK expects this to help construction reach target U-values in line with UK building regulations.
Technical Services Manager Bradley Hirst said "Ordinarily, architects might have to wait up to two days to get this information. Now they can use the tool at any time and get an instant result." The 3D U-value calculator is available for free on the Knauf Insulation website.
