Eh? I just quoted Building regs guide for part L above. That says
you have to do it which makes it mandatory. They are only considering
zones to be at different control temperatures not different on/off
times. But of course you can go that far if you want.


The Approved Documents to the Building Regulations are not of
themselves legally binding. It says as much in the introduction of
most.

They represent *a* way of complying with the statute but are not the
*only* way.

If you can propose an alternative to the suggestion, this can be just
as valid, although it may be necessary to agree the point with the
BCO.

Read my post. I'm not saying you have to have TRVs but if the doc
says you have to have zones I don't see how you get around that (or
why you would want to).

It doesn't define what a zone is. Don't assume.

Yes, you can discuss things with the BCO and
he can sign off anything but realistically if it
says zones you need zones. A BCO is
extremely unlikely to sign it off otherwise. And
zones being what the doc describes a minimum
of temperature control.

Where does he accurately describe that?

Hells bells what is the problem.
Has everyone taken argue pills or
something.

Andy takes them all the time.
