Hi all

Just a point of interest really....

Does anyone know whether heating system "design" is regulated for
new builds in any way?


Related piece in the Guardian today:

Householders buying brand new homes in the next four years are likely to find
an unpleasant surprise awaiting them in the futu homes built today will
have to be retrofitted with energy efficiency measures and low-carbon
technology, at an average cost of more than £20,000.



More project fear from the Labour party. Building regs are never
retrospective, apart from updating gas and electrical installations.

And no-one knows where that mythical £20K figure comes from. The
Grundian article avoided any elaboration too.

Houses being built today are far more energy efficient than
the millions+ built in the 1970's and 80's.

Remember, it was NuLabs 'warm house' project that resulted in
Grenfell Tower being clad the way it was.
