Brief

As the project evolves, check it against the brief. Franklin helps you spot changes and highlights the areas that may need review.

Conflict found

External wall U-value does not meet the brief

0.15 → 0.22

What Franklin found

The brief sets a maximum thermal transmittance of U = 0.15 W/(m²·K) for external walls, but the detailed design energy efficiency calculation uses U = 0.22 W/(m²·K). This means approximately 47% greater thermal transmittance than the brief allows. Check the external wall construction and the inputs used in the energy efficiency calculation.


In the brief

DOCXDesign_brief_TP_v1.0.docx page 12
The thermal transmittance of the building’s external walls must not exceed U = 0.15 W/(m²·K).

Evidence

PDFEnergy_efficiency_calculation.pdf page 8
External wall VS-01: U = 0.22 W/(m²·K).

Recommended task

Verify the external wall U-value and align the energy efficiency calculation with the brief
