Introduction to changes The latest amendment to the England AD-L2 and Wales Part L Regulations for the conservation of fuel and power (2013) came into effect on 6 April and 31 July 2014 respectively. The revision to Section 6 Scotland is scheduled for 2015. AD-L2 follows the principle of the 2010 Regulations but with significant changes in the definition of the types of buildings that make up the aggregate mix. As before, the whole building is assessed using the SBEM 'whole building methodology' that expresses the energy performance. Since it is the building services that emit CO2 and not the...
