Are YOU Ready For The Significant Changes In Part L?

On 4th October, 2010 new Part L Building Regulations come into force that will present significant challenges for building professionals. The regulations affect both domestic and non-domestic new built projects, as well as work on existing buildings.

The quick fixes available in Part L 2006 like air and ground source heat pumps - or the inclusion of a log burner - just won't work any more. Projects that passed admirably in Part L 2006 - fail miserably in Part L 2010. You are going to need help!

The regulations present a major step change in how the energy use of buildings is determined as the government move towards their aspiration of zero carbon buildings. A much more professional approach using calculated values rather than defaults is needed - and at an early stage.

How the Part L 2010 site can help YOU.

The site is administered by building surveyors, building engineers and energy assessors who understand buildings and have been extensively trained in the new Part L requirements, so you can be certain that you are only getting the best information. We will also cover Parts F and J where they are particularly impacted by Part L.

You will discover all the information you need to attain early Part L compliance. For this reason, contact with your energy consultant will be the first port of call at concept stage as calculations will be required on EACH building before building regulation approval will be granted. Another advantage of early contact with your energy consultant is the great assistance they can offer at planning stage, where renewable elements are often required by local policies before planning permission is granted.

There is a vast amount of information available on the Part L 2010 site, which will be continually updated and expanded. You will be able to get tailored advice either from the content itself, via the Forum, where other building design professionals meet and will be pleased to share their knowledge and experience or via our technical support ticket system. We truly have all the answers - or if we don't, we will find out for you!


The site will develop over the coming months as content is continually added to provide all the current information as it unfolds. The Forum will provide discussion facilities where it will be easy to get just the information you need for a particular problem.

So we can offer the best assistance and support it is necessary to restrict access to Members Only.

All Founding Pre-Launch Members will have full access to the entire site and all its facilities at pre-launch - all for a cost of under £5 a week. You can easily unsubscribe at any time - but if you want to come back after the new regulations come into force you'll find the cost has risen considerably!

We hope you enjoy the Part L 2010 site! - We'll see you on the other side ...........
