Synopsis
Enhanced provision of energy efficiency measures has been incorporated in the recent revision of part L of the Building Regulations (part J in Scotland). This revision has the specific aims of improving energy efficiency in new build and refurbishment work. Apart from incremental improvements in fabric and services efficiencies, the regulations introduce new requirements in inspection and commissioning, building log books and in energy metering, which will be novel and an innovation to many end users as well as to designers and constructors. The Energy Systems Trade Association (ESTA) estimate that these changes give the equivalent of around a 15% saving in the non-residential area that can offset the average cost of the Climate Change Levy. This paper sets out to explain these new regulations and give guidance on how designers and users might implement the requirements they make of them.
