would be to insulate any upstand, or otherwise isolate it from the internal environment.

the total building heat loss.
The decision on the choice of standard or enhanced details is taken by the Building Designer and is determined
from the total building heat loss methodology demonstrated on pages 10 & 11 of this guide.
A mixture of both standard and enhanced details maybe required for some projects.
