Caroline Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago Hello everyone I have searched the planning portal and can't find what the requirements are for U values for newbuild windows and doors. Can anyone direct me or help please? Thank you. Caroline
G and J Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago Do a google (or equiv) search for "building regs u values for new builds" and you'll get lots of choice Eg. 2025 U-values includin0.18 W/m²K for walls, 0.13 W/m²K for floors, and 0.11 W/m²K for roofs. Windows and doors have a target U-value of 1.2 W/m²K, while the maximum allowable U-value for these elements is 1.6 W/m²K. These U-values are part of a 'notional building' specification and require the use of energy modelling software to demonstrate compliance, which also considers other factors like air permeability and heating systems.
