Digest 180 Condensation in roofs, 1986
Although most roofs perform well, problems of condensation are increasing. The risk is greatest in roofs that have impermeable sheet coverings, and flat roofs in particular have frequently given rise to problems. With newer forms of construction, lower roof pitches, and changes in standards and forms of heating, similar problems are now being met in pitched roofs. This digest discusses design principles for minimising the risk of condensation and consequential damage to decorations or structure.

Information Paper 3/03 Dynamic insulation for energy saving and comfort, 2003
A dynamic insulation system is one that works by drawing outdoor air into a building through an insulation layer which is permeable to air. Describes what constitutes a dynamic insulation system and discusses energy savings and practicalities of building with dynamic insulation. It also discusses some of the design and buildability issues gained from practical experience.

Report 262 Thermal insulation: avoiding risks. 3rd edition, 2002
Explains the technical risks which may be associated with meeting the building regulation requirements for thermal insulation for the major elements of the building. For Roofs and Floors, there are further sub-divisions within each element. Concentrates on loadbearing masonry, timber frame constructions and profiled sheet cladding. Illustrations show construction principles and good practice. This updated edition contains a number of revisions resulting from developments in research, changes in. materials, construction techniques and the building regulations.
