Are you ready for AD O: Overheating Risk?
The first phase of the Future Homes Standard will launch in England later this year. The aim is for new dwellings to use less energy, have lower fuel bills, a lower carbon footprint, and be comfortable to live in.
From June 2022, new buildings will need to show compliance with AD O – an Approved Document which specifically targets overheating risk.
This is a new addition to the Building Regulation family and builds on foundations laid by many urban Local Planning Authorities who routinely require evidence that new development won’t be prone to excessive internal temperatures or require extra energy for cooling systems.
