EDITOR’S COMMENT & CONTENTS The rules that make our buildings better
I
t would be difficult to pinpoint another time when the industry has experienced so much change with new regulations on everything
from efficiency to indoor air quality (IAQ). That’s a good thing for sure and we have touched on a few of the critical recent developments in this issue of BSEE. IAQ is acknowledged as vital to occupant health and wellbeing in commercial buildings and the COVID-19 pandemic brought the need to protect our indoor air sharply into focus. The new approved Document Part F of the Building Regulations, published in December, is being hailed as an important step to improving IAQ on the road to Net Zero. In this issue, Vent- Axia’s Dave Cook gets to grips with what this
document means for consultants working on commercial buildings. Reduced energy use in public sector buildings will likely play a significant role in the drive to Net Zero, which makes the Government’s Net Zero Playbook so important.
In his examination of the Playbook, Schneider Electric’s Kas Mohammed describes it as a giant leap to a greener public estate. Finally, the Market-wide Half-Hourly reform planned for implementation in 2025 may be significant for commercial energy users seeking to analyse energy consumption data. Dave Sing of Energy Assets offers some insight.
