520 _aDiscusses the ambiguity between the requirements of Building Regulations part L2A and the advantages of natural ventilation. Explains that it is easier for an air conditioned building to reach the target of reduction on carbon dioxide recommended by the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) than a naturally ventilated building.
