Building Regulations
• Review of Building Regulations in UK– Factors affecting energy consumption and carbon emissions
– Standard Assessment Procedure
• Code for Sustainable Homes
• Energy Performance Certificates
• Introduction in Indian Building Regulations
• Introduction to Chinese Building Regulations

• Until 1965 there were no national Building Codes.• Previously Local Bye Laws prevailed and modes of construction varied
from one part of UK to another. • First Building Regulations did not include requirements for Energy
Conservation – these came in 1976 • Building Regulations are divided into sections and associated Approved
Documents (ADs)• Part A: Structural Maters• Part B: Fire• Part F: Ventilation• Part H: Heat producing appliances• Part L: Energy Conservation and more recently carbon emissions
• Each Part has associated Ads e.g. for Part L the Approved Documents were originally ADL.
• Subsequently (from 2002) divided into ADL1 and ADL2 covering dwellings and non-dwelling separately
• Then after 2005 subdivided further into ADL1a and ADL1b covering new and existing buildings.
Introduction of Building Regulations
4
• First introduced as Part L in 1976• Basic Statement – largely following what was then common
practicee.g. cavity walls brick cavity block with no insulation: - no insulation in floor, minimal insulation in loft.
• 1994: First attempt to address overall annual energy consumption, although elemental method of compliance was still permitted
• 2002: Carbon Index introduced – but was flawed• 2006: Target Emission Rate and Dwelling Emission Rate
introduced.• 2010: Came into force Oct 1st 2010 – relatively minor updates
on 2006 Regulations but noticeable reductions in allowable emissions.

Compliance to Building Regulations
• Compliance to Building Regulations may be achieved by one of several alternative methods.
– Elemental Method
• Specifies maximum U-value and perhaps maximum glazed area – valid until 2002 Regs
- still used in several other countries
– Target U-value – weighted average U-value allowed some flexibility in design
– SAP Rating (1994 Regs) – economic assessment
– Carbon Index (2002 Regs)
– Target Emission Rate (Current Regs)
8
Building Regulation: Compliance Summary
Up to and including 2000 Regulations • Elemental Method – specifying U-values of all fabric elements –
e.g. Windows, floors, walls, roofs• Target U-Value – allowed some flexibility of design.• SAP Rating – an economic measure – only permitted for
compliance in 1994 Regs.
2000/2002 Regulations• Carbon Index Method- a distorted Carbon Measure
2005/6 Regulations• Dwelling Emission Rating must be better than Target Emission
Rating. Latter is a derivative of the Target U-Value Method.
2009/10 Regulations• Retains DER and TER but expects a 25% improvement on
performance over 2005/6 standards
9
• Calculate Target U-Value – a function of areas of floor, roof, walls, windows etc– i.e. Weighted average U-Value over all fabric components
• Modify target – gas & oil boilers: actual SEDBUK efficiency
standard SEDBUK efficiency – electric & coal heating: divide by 1.15– No modification for heat pumps, biomass, biogas, CHP– Purpose of modifications is to give more freedom for designs using efficient oil or gas boilers
• Modify target if area south facing windows > area north facing windows
• Calculate ACTUAL weighted average U-value of all external surfaces
• Weighted average U-value must be <= Target value
10
Building Regulation: Compliance Target U – Value Method
SEDBUK Database
Standard Assessment Procedure
• Calculate U-values • Check U-values are achieved
– i.e. Check for bridging
• Calculate – gross heat requirements (Heat Loss Rate)– hot water requirements– incidental & solar gains– effective gains– effective internal temperature– corrected degree-day parameter– net space heating total energy requirement
• Select heating method (pumps, appliance efficiency)• Calculate Total Energy Requirement• Estimate energy costs of total space heating, hot water & pumps• Deflate energy by Energy Cost Factor (ECF)– e.g. 1994:0.96, 2001:1.05 etc• Estimate SAP on scale 0 – 100+ based on ECF It is the Economic Aspects which cause problems with SAP Rating
11
Critique of the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) • Energy efficiency index – but gives a rating that is monetary based not energy
based
• Assumes a general heating level in house – two zones (one living area one other). Does not allow for actual temperature settings.
• Hot water requirements based on floor area formula not occupancy
• Incidental gains based on floor area not occupancy
• Problem: Is this a sensible approach?
– If occupancy changes then Rating would change, but it is difficult to compare actual readings with predicted.
• Alcantar (2008) found problems with methodology for incidental gains etc
• 2010 Regulations partly address issue with regard to occupancy – e.g.• if TFA > 13.9: N = 1 + 1.76 × [1-exp (-0.000349 × (TFA-13.9)² )] + 0.0013 × (TFA-13.9) if TFA ≤ 13.9: N = 1
• N is the assumed number of occupants, TFA is the total floor area of dwelling.
12
2006 Regulations Dwelling Emission Rate is method of compliance- essentially the 2010 Regs are similar with only minor variations in detail
• Criterion 1
• A Dwelling Emission Rating (DER) must be calculated taking due account of the U-values, the size, the types of heating etc using the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP)
• The DER must be shown to be less than the Target Emission Rating (TER) which is computed with the same size of building and U-values meeting those as specified in the Regulations.
Essentially this is a derivative of the target U – value method
• Details are shown in Section 2.1.11 of handout13
Criterion 2 – limits on design flexibility• Performance of the building must not be worse than a
given standard. • gives considerable latitude in design – the old trade-off
problem.
• However criterion attempts to limit this type of trade-off – see pages 5 and 6 of the Approved Document
Criterion 3 – Limiting effects of solar overheating• Requires that the effects of overheating in summer must be
addressed
14
2006 Regulations Dwelling Emission Rate is method of compliance- essentially the 2010 Regs are similar with only minor variations in detail
Criterion 4 Quality of Construction• Criterion requires evidence of actual performance – e.g.
changes arising from design modifications, quality of workmanship.
Some of the requirements involve pressure testing the building to ensure they have achieved those used in the design specification.
Criterion 5. Providing Information• Requires information on the maintenance and operation of
the building to be made available.

Walls Uwalls Awalls Uwalls * Awalls
Windows Uwindows Awindows Uwindows * Awindows
Floor Ufloor Afloor Ufloor * Afloor

Air change Volume
Ventilation ach V V * ach * 0.361
Total Heat Loss Rate H = Σux*Ax + V* ach * 0.361
Annual Energy Requirement
E = H * DegreeDays *86400
Stage 2 Assess hot water/lighting requirements and incidental gains, efficiency of heating appliance and solar energy etc. Correct annual consumption to allow for these facts.
Analysis of Stage 1 and 2 generally sound – gives estimates to around 10-15%
Stage 3. Determine the Energy Costs to determine the SAP Rating– - Serious issues arise with stage
CALCULATION of SAP RATING
• While the Standard Assessment Procedure makes sense the final Rating known as the SAP Rating creates problems
• The SAP rating is related to the total energy cost by the equations:
• Energy Cost Factor (ECF)
= deflator × total energy cost / (TFA + 45) (10)
• The total energy running cost includes not only heating but also requirements for hot water, lighting etc as well as pumps/fans associated with heating. These are proscribed costs according to a table which are not actual costs.
• The deflator is a factor which varies according to energy costs and is intended to keep SAP Ratings constant with time irrespective of changes in fuel prices - this has not been the case in the past. But this still causes problems with relative changes between different fuels
17
Critique of the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) • Standing charge ignored for electricity, included for gas. Oil doesn’t have
a fixed charge
• Can lead to some perverse consequences– Lower efficiency oil heating can give a higher SAP rating than more efficient
gas
• Energy Cost Deflator is needed – Unnecessary complication that allows for inflation– But does not allow for differential prices changes between fuels
• SAP 1995 – possible SAP rating of over 110– SAP of 100 readily achievable
• SAP 2001 – widened scale (over 120) for consistency with existing scale
• SAP 2005 changed scale to have 100 for zero energy house – means all previous calculation have to be redone.
– Now possible to get > 100 if a house is carbon negative – i.e. will be exporting more energy than it consumes.

Impact of Changing Methodology on SAP Rating
These changes are relatively small compared with changes in previous methodology changes – i.e. 1995 – 2001 and 2001 – 2006.However these demonstrate the problem of using Economic Cost as a Key Factor in determining the SAP Rating 19
Climatic Issue with 2010 Calculations
20
Calculations have to take account of Climate Variations of Solar Gain for
Assessment of Cooling Requirements
But NOT Heating (even though heating requirements will vary by up to +/-25% from one part of country to another
Benefit of Solar Panels does not account for geographic variations in solar radiation even though this information is available for cooling calculations.
Calculating the TER• TER2010 = (Ch x FF x EFAh + Cl xEFAl) x (1–0.2)* (1 – 0.25)
i.e. a 25% improvement on 2005 This is partly to bring things in align with Code for Sustainable Homes
* The (1 – 0.2) represents a carry over from TER-2005 which indicated a 20% improvement on 2002 Regulations
• Where
Ch are the carbon emissions associated with for space heating and hot water including any used in circulating pumps,
Cl is the equivalent associated with lighting
FF is a fuel factor – this is NOT the Emission Factor for the Fuel
EFA is the relevant Emission Factor Adjustment and is a ratio of the emission factors used in the 2009 calculations divided by the equivalent ones in the 2005 calculations.
Improvements for 2010 - Environmental Impact Rating (EI)
21
Improvements for 2010 - Environmental Impact Rating (EI)
• Carbon Factor (CF) = (CO2 emissions) / (TFA + 45) where TFA is the Total Floor Area• if CF >= 28.3 EI rating = 200 – 95 x log10(CF)• if CF < 28.3 EI rating = 100 – 1.34 x CF where the CO2 emissions are calculated according to the
Standard Assessment Procedure
• The EI rating is essentially independent of floor area
• It will vary slightly depending on actual plan shape
• A house with zero emissions will have the EI at 100
• An EI > 100 if a house is a net exporter of energy.
• Primary energy requirements are also calculated in a similar way to CO2 emissions.
22
• Letter Rating bands are assigned as followsIt applies to both the SAP rating and the Environmental
Impact rating (why the SAP Rating??). Rating Band

Code was formulated following Energy Conservation Act of 2001
According to Saurabh Kumar, Secretary of Ministry of Power (18th April 2007), Code was to be trialled in demonstration areas from July 2007
An initial appraisal suggests that code tends to follow the equivalent of an Elemental Approach, but with differences
Unlike UK, elemental standards vary from region to region according to climate.
UK has 18 zones each with different Degree-Days, but elemental standards are same
[Technically Scotland could modify standards in Scotland]
Two identical houses in UK, one in South West, the other in North East Scotland, the energy consumption for space heating in latter would be 47% higher than former
40Is it sensible to have different standards in different climate regimes?
