The new Part L measures will deliver increased energy standards for new buildings, estimated at around 28% in non-dwellings, 22% in houses, and 18% in flats. On average, a 20% reduction in CO₂ emissions per dwelling will be attained compared to a notional dwelling.

EcoConsulting assists clients’ projects in complying with Building Control’s most stringent energy and environmental demands. As a consultancy that specializes in cost-effective eco-building, we advise on practical and achievable energy-efficient solutions.

In addition to consulting on fulfilling Part L requirements, we conduct NHER-certified SAP assessments (for dwellings) and certified SBEM / TAS calculations (for non-dwellings), and undertake SAP or SBEM / TAS simulations to improve the energy rating of buildings and exceed regulations targets. We also offer Energy Performance Certificates both for dwellings and no-dwellings.

We also advise on designing an air tight envelope, to achieve compliance with air pressure leakage testing, which has become mandatory for all new constructions since April 6^th, 2006.

Each degree Centigrade of additional heating consumes 7 to 10% more energy and fuel, thus the importance of well-insulated and air-tight constructions.
