Hi All,
I am looking at policy on sustainable construction/ energy
performance and am wondering if anyone else is navigating the current
climate of pending and proposed changes to the Building Regs and could
share their direction of travel?
The following three are influencing factors:
1. Reg 25B that will require buildings to be Nearly Zero-Energy
Buildings by Dec 31 2020
2. Future Homes Standard
3. Current PPG that states LPs can't require more than level 4 of the
Code for Sustainable Homes - which I believe is about 19% beyond
current Building Regs Part L
Depending on timings, I may or may not be able to wait for any
further announcements from central gov on the direction of Future
Homes Standard and for this reason am considering an interim policy
requiring the 19%.
Thank you
