Approved Document O covers overheating mitigation requirements of the building regulations as set out in new requirements under Schedule 1 and in a number of specific building regulations. Approved Document S provides technical guidance regarding the installation and charge point requirements for electric vehicles in relation to compliance with new technical requirements in the Building Regulations. This CPD will provide an overview of these requirements and technical guidance.

Approved Documents Part L Vol 1 & 2

With Alan Stokes
New homes will have to produce around 30% less carbon emissions from 2022, as part of a major update to the Building Regulations. The significant update provides an uplift to existing energy efficiency standards for homes and marks a steppingstone towards the introduction of the Future Homes Standard in 2025.
The new Building Regulations comprise five new Approved Documents, including uplifts to Part L (fuel and power) and Part F (ventilation) and will have a marked impact on new homes and existing homes.
