The innovative Alpine SpaceStud system from ITW Industry has been specifically developed to meet the thermal requirements of the Building Regulations and the Code for Sustainable Homes.

The Code is the national standard for the sustainable design and construction of new homes. The Code aims to reduce our carbon emissions and create homes that are more sustainable.

The Code measures the sustainability of a new home against nine categories of sustainable design, rating the 'whole home' as a complete package. A one to six star rating system communicates the overall sustainability performance of a new home. The Code sets minimum standards for energy and water use at each level.

Scottish Building Standard 2010, section 6.1.2, have given target U-values for walls of 0.19 and a maximim wall u-value of 0.25.
