Are you ready for a mountain of legislation?

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.

This autumn:

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:

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.
