The UK was the first major economy to pass a net zero emissions target into law. With heating and powering homes accounting for 22% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the UK in 2018, it is clear that addressing and improving the energy efficiency of both existing (through holistic retrofit projects) and new build homes is a vital area to consider. It is much cheaper and easier to build energy efficient, low carbon homes rather

With the new regulations announced and their introduction coming in June 2022, getting ahead of the game and prepared for these new regulations will be important for a variety of businesses. What are the changes to the regulations? Changes to Part L of the Building Regulations (Conservation of fuel and power) have broadly tightened the standards, with the U-values of elements being lowered, thus requiring higher levels of insulation and thermal performance than the current
With the release of the new Part L of the Building Regulations, it is now the perfect time to take a look at the new regulations and understand not only the changes that have been implemented, but also to look at the wider picture and understand why these changes to the regulations have been made.

It is estimated that 27 million homes in the UK need retrofitting, roughly 900,000 homes per year from 2020 to 2050, in order for the UK to achieve net zero carbon by 2050. That equates to 2466 homes per day, or 1.7 homes per minute, every minute for 30 years[1]. This is clearly a monumental task, and a key aspect of this is demonstrating that the measures being installed as part of retrofits are actually
Measured Energy Performance is our service that can help evaluate and monitor the performance of your retrofit projects. Measured Energy Performance (MEP) utilises accurate measurements of the Heat Transfer Coefficient (HTC) of the property in question, along with an RdSAP-style survey in order to produce a more accurate EPC rating for a property.
