Guidance Note 69 - Sustainability and Part L
Publication Date: 17/09/2012
Retail is a comparatively unique environment in which to promote
sustainability. Retailers can be part of large multi-tenanted schemes, individuals on a common high street, large independent stores, out-of-town warehouses, etc. The variety of trading modes, scales of demise and operational methods vary significantly. Three mechanisms exist around energy efficiencies and sustainability against which both retailers and developers / landlords can be measured;-
Approved Document Part L (2A) of the Building Regulations
-
Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)
-
BREEAM
There has always been a significant overlap between tenant and landlord responsibilities which to date have been difficult to capture or, at best, slightly ambiguous in these assessment methods. This position has been recognised and through refinements there is now a convergence of responsibilities between tenant and landlord.
This paper seeks to provide clarity or at least provoke thought, on who ultimately should have responsibility for the various facets of assessment in regard to Part L. It also discusses why retail is more difficult than other building types to address Part L revisions and why the 2010 revisions more impactful. |
