Timber frame is one of the most energy efficient methods of construction available today. For this reason, it is becoming the most popular method in Ireland following the SEAI’s Part L and Nearly Zero Energy Building (nZEB) regulations.The regulations at the moment are quite stringent and have left people increasingly concerned about how they are going to achieve these measures with a traditional block build. A timber frame house is much easier to insulate and make airtight among many other benefits. For these reasons, it is easy to see why timber frame accounts for over 70% of all new builds in the developed world.
