  1. Tas seminar/demonstration on Part L 2006 of the Building Regulations Presented by Alan Jones EDSL February 2006 www.edsl.net

  2. Part L2A 2006 (April)What needs to be calculated, when and how? There are two types of calculation required: targeted CO2 emissions avoidance of summer overheating in naturally ventilated spaces These calculations need to be done when: design specifications are submitted to building control the building has been completed

  3. How will the target CO2 emissions rate (TER) be generated? CO2 emissions will be calculated for a notional building and systems. This notional model will reflect Part L2 2002 standards and CIBSE TM32 TER is defined by reducing the notional emission by an improvement factor and LZC benchmark. For air conditioned or mechanically vented buildings the reduction is 28%. For naturally vented buildings the reduction is 23.5% Use either accredited simulation software or SBEM for this calculation

  4. How will the avoidance of summer overheating be demonstrated? Comfort criteria for avoidance of summer overheating are specified for various types of naturally ventilated buildings. Usually expressed as acceptable number of hours which threshold temperatures may be exceeded. Offices not to exceed 28C for more than 20 hours per year for example. Accredited simulation software may be used for this calculation or average heat gains should not exceed 35W/m2 over a design day. SBEM or Admittance procedure not applicable.

  5. What will the compliance checking software do? This is the procedure by which the building design is checked against all the criteria for compliance. A report is generated for submission to Building Control. The CO2 emissions must meet the TER and minimum standards for U values, air tightness, occupation schedules and system efficiencies checked. High system efficiencies would be flagged for inspection by the BCO. Use either accredited simulation software or SBEM for this check Supporting documentation would be submitted on avoidance of summer overheating. Also O&M manuals and log book etc for completed building.

  6. The stages of model building and analysis Create3D geometry model and analysis zones. Export 3D model for daylight simulation. Add building construction details, occupation schedules, control set points and climate data to create a building model. This model is copied to create a notional equivalent. Simulate thermal performance of building hourly over a year to generate room loads and internal temperatures and humidity. Add plant type and controls detail with air supply specification to create a systems model. This model has a notional equivalent created to run with the notional building, Simulate the systems performance hourly over a year to generate energy use, CO2 emissions and plant equipment sizing. Use notional CO2 emissions to generate the target emissions for the design. Process the results and model input data through the Part L2 compliance checking software to prepare a report for Building Control. If there are naturally ventilated spaces generate temperature frequencies to demonstrate avoidance of summer overheating.

  7. An example project evaluated for Part L2 complianceThis is design undertaken by Foreman Roberts Partnership.It is a new Bio-Chemistry building at the University of Oxford.

  40. Calculating energy use and CO2 emissionsA copy is made of the design building model to create the notional model The notional building model is a copy of the design model retaining the shape, zones and occupancy. All U-values are replaced with elementally compliant values and glazing ratios changed to be elementally compliant. This process is automated.
