    It came up a few years ago too.

    You get heat rate first any way.

    I couldnt do it after that

    Most lads in my class got €9 as the answer.

    i got €54 for part (b) in u-value q.
    complete guess though i just multiplied and divided anything i saw!!

    as for closing the cavity, i just put a 40mm thin layer of something over it :p

    can some egg head work the u-value out and see if it was 0.2??

    It looks good. Just to reassure myself, I did out the heat loss one - anyone else get €65.02?

    I just realised I completely forgot to give those dimensions! Ah well, hopefull won't be worth too much.

    Q.1 Ok. The bit under the door was a bit odd.
    Q.2 Easy.
    Q.4 On the whole easy (unless you could only vaguely remeber the raft foundations like me!)
    Q.5 Grand. Last part was a little confusing (does DPC count?)
    Q.7 Grand apart from the fact that I can never figure out where to put the ceiling joist.

    so it looks like we're all right. 0.206 is the answer, even though that's illegal in modern day walls :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    either that or they've some sort of evil catch in the question which we've all missed.

    I didn't like that paper at all, was hoping for a high B but i don't think i will get it. Q1 was grand, got .206 for the U-value but messed up the cost thing, i got the rate of heat loss but i didn't know where to go from there. I should have done the other drawing q aswell, the timber frame bit put me off.

    [/Edit] I finished yesterday :D
