    Apart from the bre web site has anyone information on A+ rated products as breeam seem to not have a list of only A+ products .
    I need as many A+ as possible trying to get to code 6 many thanks roger
  2.  
    Have you looked at the BRE green guide?
  3.  
    Yes thats why i say appart from bre web site.
    The green book live is not what i would call user friendley i am looking for only A+ products many thanks roger

    Sorry, I thought you might be referring to something more general on the web-site, not the publication. I don't know of anything else. In any case, though I cannot remember if they are A+ or A, the ratings for uPVC windows and chipboard are contrary to my gut feeling (not least that -even wpb - chipboard is a mad thing of which to build in wet areas - like kitchens....)
  5.  
    You are right,how they get there ratings are somewhat weird but to get to code 6 you must use them though i can say for sure there will be no chipboard on my build breeam are a law to themselves and dont give out to much information you have to go trawling

    Try a paper copy of the green guide 4th edition - all the relevant construction types (ie floors, roofs etc) are listed by building type and rating - including robust details and those listed in Approved Document E

    Regards

    j-g-g,

    Your CfSH Assessor should have access to the BRE Green Guide, either on paper, or online. Regardless of whether they are doing Level 3 or Level 6 :confused:

    Cheers

    I would like a list off manufactures that have A+ products the Gree Book live as far as i can make out does not do this for example Durisol have an A rating but you find them in the Green book they are not there!

    j-g-g,

    I think you are confusing the Green Guide with the Green Book? They are not the same thing at all.

    Your CfSH assessor WILL have access to the Green Guide, and thus the ratings for materials used in your dwelling.

    The Green Book is a list of Assessors etc, but not products.

    Cheers
