The role of Rockwool in meeting new standards
Under the Code for Sustainable Homes and BREEAM assessment methodology, credits may be awarded for using materials with a low environmental impact as assessed in BRE’s Green Guide to Specification. The use of Rockwool insulation could contribute to achieving BREEAM credits in the following sections:
Health and wellbeing:
Energy: reduction in CO2 emissions
Materials: material specification and insulation
Waste: construction site waste management
It should be noted that these represent a contribution and there will usually be other issues that need to be covered to be awarded those credits. A qualified assessor should be consulted for advice.
