Robust measurement

This will underpin the development and construction of all the AIMC4 homes.

It will ensure that they not only meet Code for Sustainable Homes (CfSH) Level 4 requirements for energy, but also building regulations. In addition, AIMC4 is using BRE’s CLIP (Construction Lean Improvement Programme) principles to identify areas for increased efficiency, reduced cost. The CALIBRE tool will also be used to improve efficiency on the construction site.

The Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) is the national method for calculating energy performance.

The Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) is the national method for calculating energy performance.

AIMC4 will adopt the CLIP lean methodology throughout design and construction to improve quality, cost and delivery.

AIMC4 will use CALIBRE, the site-based tool that diagnoses and quantifies ‘waste' in man hours and non-added-value time.
