For specifiers and developers, keeping ahead of the latest developments and changes in Building Regulations and compliance standards is good practice that will never get old.

Householders rightly expect that Building Regulations will have been followed in construction of their new home, and that safety and compliance standards have been met. After all, it’s in everyone’s interest that new homes and everything in them and about them – heating, hot water and more – work reliably for years to come.

In this article, Andrew Ogden, Head of Technical Team at Kingspan Cylinders, guides you through the domestic UK Building Regulations and compliance standards that developers and specifiers must follow, focusing on heating and hot water.

Andrew explores:

  • What are the UK Building Regulations in England and the devolved nations?
  • What do the Building Regulations say about heating and hot water?
  • What other regulations and requirements do new build specifiers need to know?
  • What are the compliance standards for new build suppliers?
  • What changes will there be to UK Building Regulations in the future?
