Description
The new Part L, came into force in October 2010, and requires a 25% improvement on the 2006 standards for every new home. An aggregate approach for improvement of new non-domestic buildings will deliver an improvement of 25% overall, rather than for each individual building. This is because there is greater variety among non-domestic buildings and some will be much easier than others to make efficient.
The changes to Part L will increase the minimum levels of energy efficiency for building fabric and services, so that CO2 targets cannot be achieved through renewables alone. This reflects the principle of reducing overall demand for energy.
The measures will also come into play when people elect to carry out work to existing buildings including extensions and conversions, fabric renovations, replacement windows and boilers.
Important Announcement
References in the Approved Documents to Building Regulations 2000 (S.I. 2000/2531) are now out of date because the Regulations have been consolidated into a new instrument: Building Regulations 2010. The Explanatory Memorandum published with this new instrument advises that the Regulations have been renumbered. It contains a table showing how the old numbering corresponds to the new numbering. A copy of the Amendment document can be downloaded here.
