This report is concerned with the habitability (internal living conditions) of large panel system (LPS) dwellings. It is based on a number of investigations carried out by the Building Research Establishment (BRE) in which measurements were taken in a large number of LPS dwellings, and on other BRE research aimed at understanding the physical principles underlying many of the problems found in these and other dwellings.
Chapter 1 provides an overall framework for dealing with problems of dampness, mould and heating. It identifies the factors contributing to their solution, and the way in which they interact. Following chapters deal with heating systems, ventilation and thermal insulation, and describe the results of BRE investigations. The final chapter describes two case studies - a comparison between two Reema blocks in Glasgow, one with external wall insulation and one unmodified; and comparing conditions in refurbished and unmodified homes of Bison Wall Frame construction at RAF Machrihanish.
