Various EST Enhanced Construction Details are available, with values in cases less than 0.04. The AECB Silver Standard has junctions with values of between 0.01 and 0.10. Various Constructive Details are available with value between 0.025 and 0.160.
Note: for all junctions the value depends on the level of insulation in the adjoining elements. The value can increase as the level of insulation increases. However, the ACDs (England and Wales, Scotland) do not prescribe insulation thicknesses for which the values apply. The other options (EST, AECB, CD) are more prescriptive to varying degrees. Measure the ground floor perimeter of the property. Include perturbations (like bay windows) and any other wall to ground floor lengths. Floors above unheated space or exposed upper floors should also be counted as this type.

Masonry: MCI-RF-02 MII-RF-02 MEI-RF-02
Scottish Details: 1.07, 2.07, 3.07 The AECB Silver Standard has junctions with values of between 0.12 and 0.25. Further clarification is given in the DCLG SAP Conventions document: From the thermal bridging point of view the principal difference between a parapet and not is whether the wall passes over the edge of the roof, or the roof passes over the top of the wall. These two possibilities form different types of junction. If the wall passes over the edge of the roof, treat as a roof with parapet. If the roof passes over the top of the wall, treat it as a roof without a parapet. All wall to flat roof bridges should be classified under this junction, this includes bay window walls and dormer walls.

Ignore corners in bay windows if the insulation is continuous.

The Accredited Construction Details for England and Wales can be found by visiting the Planning Portal Website. The EST Enhanced Construction Details can be found by visiting the EST website. These provide alternative details to ACDs for E1, E2, E5 and E12, with substantially lower values. BBA and Robust Details Ltd have junction details under the name Constructive Details. Details of the scheme can be found here: www.constructivedetails.co.uk/ The Scottish Accredited Construction Details can be found by clicking here. Scottish Details can be used in England and Wales if the construction matches. The Association for Energy Conscious Buildings (AECB) also have junction details and associated values available to members. Details of membership are available by visiting: www.aecb.net. Their design guidance for the Silver and Gold standards provides detailed guidance on how to minimise thermal bridging. All values from these above sources can be taken as being produced by someone with suitable expertise and experience for the purposes of Building Regulation submissions. This technical bulletin is consistent with DCLG SAP Conventions (v4.0), dated 12 September 2012. The DCLG SAP Conventions are a key reference and provide further detail and background; the DCLG Conventions can be found in NES one useful documents and at the BRE website.
