New key Part L changes – Quick snapshot

CO2 performance targets A separate, temporary specification is proposed for electric resistance heating in new dwellings. This will eventually have the same fabric specification as other fuels and be based on a heat pump solution. Furthermore, this change will be made progressively to give the electrical heating industry time to create the new technologies. For […]
