The document outlines five energy-efficient building materials: bio-based polyurethane, recycled steel, hay bales, permeable paving, and structural insulating panels. Each material is noted for its beneficial properties, such as insulation capabilities, reduced energy requirements, and environmental friendliness. These materials contribute to sustainable building practices and can help save energy costs in construction.

2. ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Energy efficiency is a primary
consideration when choosing
construction materials and
developing building techniques
for modern properties.
Read about five of the best…

3. 1. BIO-BASED POLYURETHANE
 One of the most popular materials on the market.
 Polyurethane “Rigid Foam” can be used as
insulation.
 Excellent heat and water resistance, and mould
protection.
 Produced from natural materials, environmentally
friendly.

4. 2. RECYCLED STEEL
 A durable material that is perfect for the beams and
panels that make up many constructions.
 Go a lot further than wooden frames, especially in
large-scale projects.
 It is estimated that recycling scrap dramatically
reduces the amount of energy required to create steel,
by up to 75%.

5. 3. HAY BALES
 Great natural insulation properties.
 Protects from heat, cold, and noise.
 Completely natural and non-toxic; minimal energy
used to create the material.
 Fire-resistant when compressed and plastered.

6. 4. PERMEABLE PAVING
 As we build on more UK land, we are preventing
more rainwater from naturally entering the water
table.
 Permeable paving slabs ensure that water can
infiltrate the ground.
 Overloaded drainage systems able to work at
maximum efficiency.

7. 5. STRUCTURAL INSULATING PANELS
 Constructed from a layer of high quality foam
insulation.
 Tightly sandwiched between the panels used in the
walling.
 Studies say that structural insulating panels can save
50% in energy costs.
 Can be used in floors and foundations.
