Going cold on concrete - 1988 - Building 253(7552) 17 June 1988, 89(1) .
Criticises manufacturers of lightweight concrete blocks for over-optimistic thermal performance claims. The blocks are used in cavity wall construction in new houses. Milton Keynes Development Corporation noticed inaccuracy in the figures during routine inspection of energy standards in new dwellings. Suggests that Milton Keynes is the only local authority which systematically checks dwelling design s for energy efficiency and requires unsatisfactory ones to be removed.
