@AitkenRob@MarkSiddallRIBA @BenAdamSmith Air tightness layer is outside - two layers to kept external insulation away from wind. Both layers fully taped including openings. I guess benefit of external air tightness is house can be passed on to second user who may or may not be careful with high performance envelope.
Just finished listening to @MarkSiddallRIBA on @BenAdamSmith podcast about What reduced insulation performance? And we though, we would share how close or near perfect our wall build-up was on our very first small scale project back in 2018.
@RichardWillan20 @MarkSiddallRIBA @BenAdamSmith @WikiHouse I guess you can do that. In this case service cavity is kept outside of building fabric to ensure future proofing. Trade off of having service cavity is end user has to be little careful where they can hang things.
@RichardWillan20 @MarkSiddallRIBA @BenAdamSmith It is close to SIP type system where you have two layers of 18mm plywood on both internal & external with installation in between. It's an open-source @WikiHouse system. External battens are 75x25 vertical and horizontal creating sunscreen system with 50mm air gap.
@DavidGibbons@MarkSiddallRIBA @BenAdamSmith External insulation is strapped using 75x25 vertical battens which is attached to the 18mm ply using 6mm washer head structural screws. Another layer of horizontal battens attached to the vertical ones. Reducing thermal bringing through screws. Larch is fixed to vertical battens
Fantastic job klaxon.

Would suit architects / project architects / arch. technologists who are good communicators and want to do things a bit differently. Especially if you're into making green building, zero-carbon and self-build / community-led development the new normal.
Delighted to welcome @BBomPatisserie and @pulpbuild to school yesterday to help with our Y9/10 Academic Extension Day. Girls took on board lots of new information to configures their cafes, create impressive brand and marketing campaigns, and produce exciting menus.
@ScottishPaddler@AliceRDavies Humidity only becomes a problem if it meets cold surfaces and cold air. Airtight the building first and reduce thermal bridging. Fiabric first is the only solution.
Amazing to close the Archive-opia programme last week in MK Central Library with a #PechaKucha from @UniofNottingham BA undergraduate Architecture & Environmental Design students, their contemporary response based on individual research into the archives of #MiltonKeynes.
