The Code aims to reduce our carbon emissions and create homes that are more sustainable. Itapplies in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.Code for Sustainable Homes, Category 3: MaterialsMat 01: Environmental Impact of MaterialsJablite inverted roof insulation products are made from EPS (expanded polystyrene) which has an A+ rating inthe BRE Green Guide to Specification for EPS 100 and EPS 150.The BRE Green Guide to Specification provides you with easy-to-use guidance on how to make the bestenvironmental choices when selecting construction materials and components.Environmental rankings: A+ represents the best environmental performance and E the worst environmentalimpact.Code for Sustainable Homes, Category 6: PollutionJablite Insulation has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than 5 and an Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) ofzero.The blowing agent used during manufacture is pentane which has zero ODP and a GWP of less than 5.Jablite Insulation and BREEAMBREEAM (Building Research EstablishmentEnvironmental Assessment Method) setsthe standard for best practice in sustainabledesign and in the measurement of a building'senvironmental performance.BREEAM enables developers, designersand building managers to demonstrate theenvironmental credentials of their buildings toclients, planners and other parties.BREEAM, Material 04 InsulationIn this category, the specified aim of BREEAMis to “recognise and encourage the use ofthermal insulation which has a low embodiedenvironmental impact relative to its thermal properties and has been responsibly sourced.”It is a pre-requisite of BREEAM that any new insulation specified for use within the following building elementsmust be assessed:1 External Wall2 Ground floor3 RoofFloors | Walls | Roofs Jablite Claymaster Technical Information 31
