Domestic Workshop
On Construction – Part L
Stuart Fairlie C Build E, MCABE Technical & Operations Director, Elmhurst Energy
SUPPORTED BY
L1A
“Conservation of Fuel and Power”
SUPPORTED BY
What is it trying to regulate?
• Delivered energy to the home?• Energy consumed in the home? • Carbon emissions?• Warmer homes?• Lower fuel bills?• Climate change?
SUPPORTED BY
Current Regs (2 x Targets)
• Carbon Target• Fabric Target
• & Minimum Standards for fabric and services
SUPPORTED BY
Proposed New Regs (3 x Targets)
• Carbon Target• Primary Energy Target• Householders Affordability Rating
• & Minimum Standards for fabric and services
SUPPORTED BY
How far to go?
21% or 30% better on carbon target
SUPPORTED BY
Why are we changing them?
• Unintended Consequences• Performance Gap (paper v reality)• Climate Emergency• SAP model needs updating• The ‘EU’ made us do it!?
• All of the above
SUPPORTED BY
Future Homes Standard
• What is it?• End of fossil fuel in new build 2025• 75-80% less carbon than one built today• The proposed Changes (F & L) are a
transition to this
SUPPORTED BY
Part F (Ventilation)
SUPPORTED BY
Ventilation Part F
• Large proportion of houses have inadequate levels of ventilation
• Compliance is very poor.
• Driven by a desire to improve SAP ratings, developers will focus on air tightness,
• Results in damp and poor indoor air quality.
SUPPORTED BY
Airtightness
• “Simplify” guidance - setting a room by room approach
• Require design and commission documentation to be provided to the building owner
• It is proposed all new dwellings are tested• no more sample testing.• no small sites exemptions.
• Introducing an alternative test method to the Blower door test called ‘Pulse’.
• Reassigning ownership of the air tightness testing methodology to CIBSE

Part L (Fuel & Power)
SUPPORTED BY
Option 1 “Future Homes Fabric”
• An average 20% uplift on current standards.
• Typically can be achieved with very high performing building fabric.
• Notional Targets based around;• Triple glazing u-value 0.8 w/m2k, • Wall u-value 0.15 w/m2k, floor & roof 0.11 w/m2k,• Air tightness of 5 m3/m2/hr @ 50 Pa,• Mains Gas boiler, • WWHRS
• An average increase to build cost of £2,900 per plot.
SUPPORTED BY
Option 2 “Fabric plus Technology”
• An average 31% uplift on current standards.
• Has slightly lower fabric standards than option 1, but includes renewables.
• Notional Targets based around;• Double glazing u-value 1.2 w/m2k, • Wall u-value 0.18 w/m2k, floor 0.13 w/m2k, roof 0.11 w/m2k,• Air tightness of 5 m3/m2/hr @ 50 Pa,• Mains Gas boiler, • WWHRS,• Photovoltaic Panels
• An average increase to build cost of £4,600 per plot.
SUPPORTED BY
3 Targets explained
• Its driven by fuel choice• Carbon (kg CO2 /kWh)• Price (p/kWh)• Primary Energy (kWh/m2/yr)
• The fuels are not always good on all three!
SUPPORTED BY
Householder Affordability Rating
• Move towards electric heating, an expensive fuel.
• A minimum EPC rating for all new dwellings is proposed. (number or band?)
• BEIS statistics show 81% of all new build EPCs are ‘B’ rated.
• 1.34% of EPCs are ‘A’ rated

Some Example Homes
SUPPORTED BY
Modelling
• A house which complies to current L1A 2013 regulations• Will not comply

SUPPORTED BY
Modelling – Gas
• To achieve compliance with option 1 (20%) typically;• Improved fabric u-values – wall 0.18 w/m2k, roof & floor
0.11 w/m2k• Used triple glazing• Introduced WWHRS• Lowered psi values• 1.3 kWp PV

56.85 56.97 9.72 10.24 91 B
SUPPORTED BY
Modelling – Gas
• To achieve compliance with option 2 (31%) typically;• Changed ventilation to MVHR • Lowered airtightness to 3 m3/m2/hr @ 50 Pa
DPER TPER2 DER TER2 EPC
45.21 53.29 7.26 8.51 92 A
SUPPORTED BY
Modelling – Electric Heat Pump
• To achieve compliance with option 1 (20%) typically;• Retained fabric u-values – wall 0.22 w/m2k, Roof & Floor –
0.12 w/m2k • Retained double glazing,• Improved lighting to 80 l/cw

56.76 56.97 5.49 10.24 74 C?
SUPPORTED BY
Modelling – Electric
• To achieve compliance with option 2 (31%) typically;• Improved psi values• Still no renewables or WWHRS• BUT keep an eye on EPC score

48.92 53.29 4.72 8.51 78 C?
SUPPORTED BY
Other Proposals
• Standard compliance report• Photographs to verify on site construction, ‘signed off’
by OCDEA and developer prior to going to building control. (Provided to homeowners)
• Transitionals• What is a ‘reasonable’ time?• Per plot not site!
SUPPORTED BY
Conclusions• Homes will be more ‘energy efficient’ – journey towards Future Homes Standard
• New compliance metrics are a balance of primary energy, carbon and cost. (with backstops!)
• Airtightness testing to increase.
• Steps being taken to address the performance gap and provide more information to the householder.
• Removing LA’s ability to set standards above!
• Transitional arrangements to ensure new dwellings are built to latest standards.
• Use of Competent People
