Building Regulations Research

The Building Regulations are designed to: ensure the health, safety, welfare and convenience and safety of people, including those who are disabled, in and around buildings; promote the conservation of fuel and power and the prevention of waste and water.

These individual reports aim to provide a sound scientific basis to underpin these regulations.

The current newsletter contains details of the new projects in Communities and Local Government's Sustainable Building Regulations Research and Development Programme for 2007-2008.
