80 HEATING, VENTILATION & SERVICES; INTERIORS
Building Regulations Update – England
England 2021 Regulations have been released and Scotland & Wales are currently under review. It is the intention that the updates ensure adequate ventilation of all types whilst the energy efficiency of housing is improved at the same time. As the saying goes, ‘Ventilate when you Insulate’. This is all part of the Government’s proposals for the Future Homes Standard, which provides a pathway for highly efficient buildings that are zero carbon ready, better for the environments and fit for the future. Implementation of a full technical specification is scheduled for 2025. There are also proposals being discussed to mitigate against overheating in residential buildings.
Titon welcomes the increased emphasis that has been put on ventilation in both new and existing buildings as per the Building Regulations update, particularly in the current climate. Titon has a user guide section to help explain this.

A well-attended and progressive church at the heart of a Welsh town is nearing the end of the first phase of an ambitious refurbishment project with improved facilities and as part of the work, a new underfloor heating system featuring the use of two different OMNIE systems will provide a warming welcome for all. Gilgal Baptist Church began planning a three year programme of alterations to transform the main building – the Sanctuary – and then rebuild the adjoining hall. The changes within the Sanctuary include the creation of a function area with kitchen and new toilets, plus various adaptations for those with mobility issues. A modern main entrance will give access to an enlarged reception area, while a new steel mezzanine structure creates additional space for various activities. OMNIE Staple and TorFloor systems, along with a new 50 kW gas boiler will be installed to improve the efficiency of the church’s heating and hot water delivery. Improved lighting and sound systems have also been included to make the interiors a better place for both worship and recreation. A spokesperson for the Gilgal Baptist Church said: “The changes are intended to ensure our buildings are fit for purpose”.
