Modular / Portable Structures

 

Modular Buildings have a variety of end uses, from temporary homes for our troops overseas to student accommodation. 

 

Eco-Brite can help achieve the required U-values for walls, roofs and floors, and our recent testing by the BRE and BBA shows every square metre saves 12.33Kg of CO2 per year. That can equate to a saving of over a ton of CO2 emissions per annum for a typical modular cabin. 

 

Modular Components Ltd, based in Leeds, utilises Eco-Brite in all their modular structures and has recently completed projects at The Babraham Institute in Cambridge and St Georges Hospital in London.

 

Apollo’s HRMs R Values

Using an emissivity value of 0.05, the thermal resistance (m2KW–1) of the products is shown below

 

Element of Structure Thermal Resistance With An Air Space of 25mm on one side

Ceiling

Upwards heat flow

0.45 m2K/W

45 Degree Pitched Roof Upwards heat flow

0.51 m2K/W

Wall

Horizontal heat flow
0.67 m2K/W

Floor

Downward heat flow
0.80 m2K/W

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

 



In a floor application with downward heat flow and a minimum air space either side of the Eco-Brite®, a Thermal Resistance of 1.6m2K/W can be achieved.
