In 2021, changes were made to Building Regulations: Approved Document L – Conservation of Fuel and Power which affects building work on both new and existing buildings in England from 15th June 2022.
In the shift towards a Future Buildings Standard planned to come into effect in 2025, the government announced a number of changes to the Building Regulations to help the UK deliver net zero, including a mandatory 30% cut in carbon for all new homes, and a 27% cut for other buildings, including offices and shops. These changes have meant necessary amendments have had to be made to the Approved Document.
Approved Document L – Conservation of Fuel and Power (2021 Edition), supports Part L of Schedule 1 to the Building Regulations 2010, and takes effect on 15th June 2022 for use in England. Approved Document L, Volume 1: Dwellings, gives guidance on how to comply with Part L of Schedule 1 to the Building Regulations and the energy efficiency requirements for dwellings, and Document L, Volume 2: Buildings other than dwellings, should be used as guidance when referring to non-domestic buildings.
Glazing Vision have created a whitepaper which focuses on everything you need to know about Approved Document L in relation to rooflights and roof windows. The whitepaper covers:
• Calculating the target primary energy rate, target emission rate and target fabric energy efficiency rate in dwellings
• Limiting heat gains and losses in rooflights and roof windows in dwellings
• New rooflights and roof windows in existing dwellings, including extensions
• Work to rooflights and roof windows in existing dwellings
• Calculating the target primary energy rate and target emission rate in buildings other than dwellings
• Limiting heat gains and losses in rooflights and roof windows in buildings other than dwellings
• New rooflights and roof windows in existing buildings, including extensions
• Work to rooflights and roof windows in existing buildings
