Summary
The objective of the project was to explore the implementation of Part L of the Building Regulations for England and Wales following the 2006 revisions to Part L of the Building Regulations for England and Wales contained some of the most far reaching changes to energy efficiency regulation since its formulation in 1976.
Since the introduction of the changes, a growing body of evidence has emerged that the energy performance standards set out in the Regulations are not being achieved in practice. It is important that there is a clear understanding of how the regulations are being interpreted and put into practice by developers, their professional advisors and building control bodies.
The project focused on the:
- interpretation of the regulations and associated guidance
- practical steps taken to ensure that the intent of the regulations is achieved
- areas of uncertainty that exist and how these are dealt with barriers to effective implementation
- coordination of the different professionals involved in the process
- extent to which the structure of regulations and guidance needs to change for the energy performance achieved to match the regulatory intention.
The findings and recommendations in this report are those of the consultant authors and do not necessarily represent the views or proposed policies of the Department for Communities and Local Government.
