Part L1B Compliance - Extensions to existing dwellings

What is Part L1B Compliance?

Part L1B is one part of the four parts to Part L of the Building Regulations – Conservation of Fuel and Power in existing dwellings.

 

Any new, replaced or refurbished element of a dwelling must achieve minimum thermal standards, and where applicable the total heat loss of the building with extension must be the same or better than a notional building 

 

I am qualified to produce L1B calculations ae I am a qualified On Construction Energy Assessor & SAP Assessor.

 

When is Part L1B Compliance Required?

This is required by Building Control in the following circumstances:-

1. Construction of an Extension
2. A material Change of Use, or a change to the buildings energy status, including loft and garage conversions
3. The provision or extension of Controlled Services or Controlled Fittings
4. The replacement of a Controlled Service or Controlled Fittings

 

Building Control often ask for SAP Calculations instead of Part L1B Compliance - this is the same thing and in most circumstances is triggered due to large glazed areas being added to the building.
