‘A review of Building Regulations is well overdue’, says the Heating and Hotwater Industry Council, HHIC as they respond to The Future Homes Standard 2019 Consultation on changes to Part L (conservation of fuel and power) and Part F (ventilation) of the Building Regulations for new dwellings.

Stewart Clements, Director, HHIC said, “Part L of the Building Regulations was last reviewed in 2012. Since then there have been many technological and industry advancements, so a review to bring standards up to date is welcomed.”

Installation of heating technologies

Homes must be future-proofed and have all means of fuel type available to them

“Looking at the detail of the consultation we are pleased to see ambitious targets which provide opportunities for a range of heating technologies to be installed, such as heat pumps. We would, however, urge the government to be technology agnostic in their approach and ensure that no technology is excluded from installation at the point of build or in the future.”

“Homes must be future-proofed and have all means of fuel type available to them. Standards must also remain high across the build with no corners cut to balance the books.”
