Planning, building and the environment

---

Summary

Low or zero carbon energy sources are increasingly being installed in buildings, e.g. small scale and micro CHP units, photovoltaic panels and building mounted wind generators. The development of performance standards and suitable guidance on satisfactory provisions, on e.g. structural measures, weatherproofing and location is needed, also compliance with Approved Document Part L and any relevant provisions of the forthcoming Electrical Approved Document. This desk study will also take account of the Energy White Paper and the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). 

The overall aim of this project is to develop suitable performance standards and guidance for the installation of low or zero carbon energy sources in buildings.
