Construction Templates

Construction templates are used as a source of generic construction data for loading into building models.

The template provides data on the construction of external walls, roofs, floors, partitions, roofs etc and air-tightness data.

There are four tabs on the Construction template dialog:

• General
• Simple
• Standard
• Airtightness

Tip: DesignBuilder is provided with a number of system "Early Design" Construction templates. You can read about how to control these on the Legislative Region Templates - Standard Insulation help page.

Template data can be accessed:

• from the Templates tab on the opening screen (if no file is open),
• from the Templates tab in the Navigator panel (if a file is open),
• by double-clicking on the template icon in the model data,
• by clicking on the Edit button when selecting templates from a list.
