 "Presenter knew his brief! Very worthwhile attending", David Zwart, Shell
"Excellent course, easily understood", Tommy Logan, Lloyds Banking

**This course includes changes proposed in the government consultation.**

Part L of the Building Regulations covers "Conservation of Fuel and Power". It applies to new buildings and certain types of work in existing buildings, and exists to enforce minimum standards of energy efficiency. Part F covers "Means of Ventilation" and is in place to maintain good standards of indoor air quality.

Part L is upgraded more frequently than any other part of the Building Regulations. Revised Building Regulations and Approved Documents changed in April 2010, and came into force from October 2010.

Understanding Part L and Part F will provide:

• A basic understanding of Building Regulations

• An appreciation of the changes that took place in 2010 Regulations and Approved Documents.
• An understanding of the differences between the 2006 and 2010 Regulations and Approved Documents
• An understanding of Energy Performance Certificates, Display Energy Certificates and Air Conditioning Inspections
• An awareness of other sources of information
