Library additions, Brick Historic England, Stone Historic Scotland

[TrystanLea]

Hello @marianneURBED, @cagabi

I would like to add fabric element U-values for traditional buildings that have come out of recent in situ monitoring to the library. The elements below are from a historic england report.

Im also thinking about the option to outline a range of U-values with a min and max, we could then potentially do an error analysis in future.

I also wonder if we break down the standard library file so that there is a library folder with sub folders: elements, elements_measures, draught_proofing_measures etc, with files such as historic-england-brick.json etc to help with organisation?

Just a couple of thoughts for now.

From here on in the library available to get someone started will just have a few basic elements to get people started, and they can then add whatever they want to their own library. So this issue superseded. I'm updating the Carbon Coop library in next month.
