BRE - Energy-efficient in-situ concrete housing using EPS formwork
| Organization: | BRE |
| Publication Date: | 1 January 1998 |
scope:
This report describes the method of housing construction which involves the use of expanded polystyrene (EPS) permanent insulating formwork. The EPS moulds are manufactured in 'panel' or 'block' forms and assembled together to provide the formwork into which concrete is poured to construct the main walls. This innovative construction technique may have an important role to play in improving energy efficiency in UK housing.
