Wednesday, July 13th, 2011In recent months there have been significant changes made to the building regulations, with several new approved documents and consolidated Building Regulations 2010 published. While the latest changes to Part L are not on the scale of 2006 revision, there is plenty of detail under the surface. It is important to remember that Part L is just a few new paragraphs. Its states that reasonable provision shall be made for the conservation of fuel and power….and that fixed building services shall be energy efficient of schedule 1, which is part of the building regulations, and is therefore legally binding, along with the other regulations.
