Are you ready for assessment?
Buildings are major consumers of energy. Around 40% of final energy consumption in the European Community is in the buildings sector. EC research has indicated that by improving energy efficiency, carbon emissions from buildings could be reduced by 22%. This will help the EU to meet its climate change objectives under the Kyoto Protocol commitments as well as improve the energy performance of new and existing buildings.
In the UK, the amendments to the Building Regulations Part L and Part H are beginning to bite and the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulation which came into force in March 2007, obliges building owners to obtain and register energy performance certificates for buildings built, sold or let after 1st October 2008.
- Does this increased focus on the energy efficiency of building services mean natural ventilation only?
- Can buildings designed with mechanical air conditioning still meet the reductions in carbon emission required under BR Part L?
- What is required for BREEAM 'Excellent' rating?
