Building Regulations
Each of the nations within the UK has different technical requirements for conserving energy use in both new build and existing dwellings:
- The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) offers a series of 'approved documents' containing guidance on compliance in England and Wales. Part L deals specifically with the conservation of fuel and power.
- The Scottish Building Standards Agency provides guidance on complying in Scotland through a new system of Building Standards - Section 6 deals with energy use.
- In Northern Ireland, The Building Regulations Unit of the Department of Finance and Personnel provides guidance via a series of 'Technical Booklets' - Technical Booklet F deals with energy use.
