Building Regulations by definition are reviewed and revised frequently, which can cause a headache for the designer.

Written and presented by experienced Building Control practitioners, this seminar provides critical information on building regulations in relation to energy efficiency, sustainability and climate change.

Focusing on current requirements, future standards, design issues and practical implications for architects, the seminar covers:

Part L - conservation of energy, renovation of thermal elements, replacement windows

Part F - ventilation

Part J - heating

Part P - electrics

Part G - water safety and usage.

Compliance processes, future changes to building regulations and revisions in the pipeline will also be addressed.
