Part L changes from Chiltern Dynamics With more housebuilders and developers feeling the impact of the 2010 revisions to Approved Document L (ADL), Chiltern Dynamics has introduced an easy to use comparison table highlighting the key differences between the 2010 and 2006 regulations. Head of energy services, Tom Gregory, said: We are starting to see an increase in the volume of testing. The 2010 requirements mean not only more tests per develop- ment, but also a requirement for much better results than in the past. Good air tightness performance is an excellent and cost-effective energy saving measure and many of our clients are clearly aiming to improve on the minimum performance level required by Part L.”


Chiltern Dynamics has collated clear and concise information about the changes and their implications for clients.

Guildhall roof gets solvent free with Kemperol The City of London has specified Kemper System’s Kemperol 2K-PUR solvent-free, wet-on-wet waterproofing system for the refurbishment of the historic Guildhall’s west wing. The project involves installa- tion of the Kemperol 2K-PUR membrane across a 1,000m² area of the west wing’s roof, which is very detailed and complex. In addition to architectural features, the roof also has a number of air conditioning


service units on it and is in an area of the building close to an exterior courtyard with windows to all sides so any strong-smelling solvent-based systems would cause unpleasant odours within the building.

FAAC 620 barrier secures access to hospice Two FAAC 620 automatic barriers have been installed at the John Eastwood Hospice near Mansfield to control access to the visitor car park. Renowned for its long term reliability, the FAAC 620 hydraulic barrier was the obvious choice to replace the existing system. An access control system was required to prevent the car park being used by visitors to the adjacent hospital, which charges for parking. Using underground induction loops,


the 620 barrier system can detect approaching vehicles and automatically open the barrier to allow free entry. On exit, visitors are required to enter a code, obtained from reception, into the FAAC K44 keypad to activate the barrier.
