Dear User,
This month, read our articles below to learn about the latest amendment to Part L of The Building Regulations in terms of Standard Assessment Procedures (SAPs). Read on:
Part L is the section of the Building Regulations dealing with conservation of heat and power from new and existing buildings, both domestic and commercial. It is being updated because the UK Government has a legal commitment to implement the European Directive on Energy Performance in Buildings (EPBD), which requires all new and existing buildings to be given an energy rating, and for new buildings to meet a minimum standard of energy efficiency.
The revisions to Part L (to be implemented in April 2006) will set maximum CO2 emissions for whole buildings. The new Part L makes SAP a carbon compliance tool, and it does not take into account the greater capital cost of equipment, regular servicing and on-going maintenance requirements related to gas and oil systems. The revisions currently being made to SAP will align it to Part L 2006 and are expected to include, energy for lighting, a revision of solar water heating, the incorporation of additional renewable and energy saving technologies, and more besides.
These revisions will have a significant effect on the UK building industry, including heating and electrical contractors and specifiers.
