The industry is braced for a series of key legislative changes:

June:

New Building Regulations Parts F, L and O

Revisions to Parts L and F were worked in tandem to ensure improved energy savings were not at the expense of good indoor air quality (IAQ).

Part L: Domestic carbon emissions to fall by 30% and in non-domestic buildings by 27%.

Part F: CO₂ monitors will be mandatory to demonstrate ventilation effectiveness and there are additional standards for recirculating ventilation systems in all new offices

Part O is new and sets targets for cutting overheating in domestic and non-domestic buildings.

All are stepping stones towards the Future Homes and Buildings Standards, which aim to make all buildings ‘net zero ready’ from 2025.

Autumn 2022:

Building Safety Act

Building Safety Act will introduce profound changes to manufacturing, planning, procurement, installation, inspection, competence, and compliance right across the industry. Retrospective powers to prosecute safety breaches.

April 2023:

MEES

Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) to be upgraded and will make it unlawful for a landlord to let any commercial property with an EPC rating of less than E.

MEES level will rise to B by 1^st April 2030 with landlords given two “compliance windows” starting in April 2025. All properties will have to be at least C rated by 2027.

Advanced leak detection with Daikin remote monitoring

The software activates an alarm in the event of a potential leakage and reports occurrences and frequency over time. This allows users to have a complete overview of the activity over twelve months, and then allows users to take action and set preventive measures if needed.

Applied Talks – EWAT-B R32 Chiller with Free Cooling

In this episode we discuss Daikin’s unique free cooling technology based on R-32 refrigerant and see why it received high appreciation from the UK market. We talk to James Henley, Product Development Manager at Daikin Applied UK, who explains how this technology is meeting the needs of the UK market.

TRUE or FALSE? When full load is not required, it’s best to shut down units in multiple chiller plants

Well, the answer is false. Thanks to the high efficiency in part load operation with inverter, running all the chillers in the plant in part load (even if they have “fix-speed” pumps on primary circuits) can be more efficient than shutting down part of the chillers. The Inverter or VDF (Variable Frequency Drive) is an electronic power component, by varying the frequency of the motor power supply; it modulates the compressor rotational speed (RPM) and in such a way that is controls the compressor capacity.
