A - Part L is the section dealing with energy conservation in the technical requirements of the Buildings Regulations. The recent revision of Part L is part of the Government's strategy to deliver real improvements in reducing CO2 emissions by conserving our use of fuel and power. Q - What are Approved Documents L1 and L2? A - They are two in a series of documents approved by the Deputy Prime Minister to give practical guidance to designers and builders on compliance with the requirements of the Building Regulations in respect of energy conservation. Q - Why are there two Approved Documents for Part L? A - During the review of Part L it became clear that a one size fits all approach would not work. The structural envelope issues faced in developing a home are not the same as those faced when developing an office block. Those building homes tend to be separated from the rest of the construction industry. The two Approved Airtightness Documents for Part L follow this divide. Q - What is the difference between L1 and L2? A - L1 is concerned with dwellings and L2 with buildings other than dwellings such as schools, hospitals, offices, and factories. Q - Where can I get a copy of the Approved Documents? A - Approved Documents L1 and L2 are available to be either downloaded from our web site
