Looks at the new version of Part L of the Building Regulations, "Conservation of fuel and power", which intends to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from buildings. The document has been published as an interim draft to enable amendments from changes to Part E of the Building Regulations and to allow designers and builders to prepare for its implementation. Outlines the key changes in Part L which include a new insulation value of 0.35, air-tight standards for buildings, and refinements to heating system efficiency. The final version of Part L will comprise two editions; L1 for dwellings and L2 for other building types.
