The Building Regulations Part L
will still be separated into dwellings (part L1)
and non-domestic buildings (part L2).
For dwellings the SAP 2005 will
replace SAP 2001 with the more relaxed Target U-value
and Elemental Methods becoming redundant.
For all other non-domestic buildings
two methods will replace the Elemental, Whole Building
and Carbon Emission Calculation Methods. The two
new methods will be very distinctive, the Simple
Building Evaluation Method and a simulation based
route. The SBEM will be solely applicable to extremely
basic buildings such as warehouses etc. The new simulation
method will be similar to the previous Carbon Emission
Method with other elements built in, and will form
the compliancy route for the majority of non-domestic
buildings.
Ce2 are geared up to undertake all domestic
and non-domestic Part L requirements both under current
legislation and the amended 2006.
