Energist - Part L Compliance Experts - Blog

Settled in with the new Part L? Good – here’s what’s changing next!
February 16th, 2012 0 comments energist building, emission rate, energy, new, Part L, regulations, sap, Energist News, Energy Statements, Part L Compliance, SAP, SBEM

It's got to be meaningful, drive innovation and aid learning - these are the key goals of the new Part L Building Regulations, due to come into force in England and Wales late next year (with a similar bill going through the motions in Scotland).
CLG (the Community for Local Government) is currently asking for comments about the new proposals, which will affect SAP Calculations, EPCs, SBEM (for commercial), building extensions, energy statements and the Code for Sustainable Homes.
So, what are the proposals? I've got 600 words to summarise 95 pages - here we go!

I don't know what to say... I have one week off from writing the Energist blog and in that time we lose our Energy Secretary and CO2 levels rise in the UK... not that I'm drawing ridiculous comparisons here, but what are you people doing without me?
Here's a summary of some of the big news stories from the past few days:

This week, Friends of the Earth won its High Court battle with the Government after they illegally cut the Feed-In-Tariff in the Uk. so what does that mean, and how might this ruling effect you? This week's blog is written in a Q&A style to hopefully clear things up:
What is the Feed-In-Tariff (FIT)?

Smart Meters; The 21st Century Equivalent of a Swearing Parrot

When we moved into our current house, we had a water meter fitted as part of some renovation work. From that day forward I've had a typical bloke-style commitment to consistently use less and less water, which can be easily measured because each bill received tells me how many litres of water we've used.
There is a well-held belief that there are many more people like me in the world, who share the idea that water meters are a great idea. They encourage us to use less, and therefore spend less money.

There's nothing like having a few days off work, and coming back to find a 170 page consultation document on your desk... c'est la vie!
BRE has this week released its thoughts on how SAP methodology should be changed in line with the planned revision of Building Regulations in 2013; the next rung on the ladder as we aim for Zero Carbon houses by 2016.
I need to stress this is at consultation stage only, but here are eight key changes which you could find yourself dealing with on upcoming housing developments.

The Code for beginners

The eagle-eyed regular readers may have noticed there was no blog last week... a dedicated team of us took the Energist Code for Sustainable Homes seminar on the road for the first time.
Huge ‘Thanks' to everybody who travelled to the Sutton Life Centre in South London for the presentation - we feel it was successful and we'll be heading to another corner of the UK in the New Year to meet more of you.
