How changes in Building and Wiring regulations are creating low carbon opportunities

There have been a raft of changes over the past year in the building regulations approved documents and in BS 7671 The Wiring regulations, many of which focus on considering and deploying low carbon and energy efficient installations. This presentation will look at how these mechanisms are funneling installers and clients into creating buildings ready to meet the demands of a low carbon economy
