As the new Part L Regulations cause a shake-up of whole building efficiency, including heating requirements for buildings in England.
Installers now must pay closer attention to the new changes that have come into force, in order to make new heating systems compliant.Following the implementation of the new rules Ideal Heating can confirm that their range of commercial condensing boilers conform to the new regulations, from a comfort, energy efficiency and compliance perspective.
The range including the Evomax 2, Imax Xtra 2, Imax Xtra EL and Evomod models all are all Part L ready and will help buildings to transition to low carbon heating in the future.
Split into two volumes, the regulations section ADL2 concerns buildings other than dwellings, it requires where feasible that: ‘all parts of the system, including pipework and emitters, should be sized to allow the space heating system to operate effectively and in a manner that meets the heating needs of the building, at a maximum flow temperature of 55°C or lower.’
It’s not by chance that policymakers landed at this maximum flow temperature. This is closely linked to the science that underpins condensing boiler technology, in turn offering buildings greater efficiency in their gas usage for heating and hot water. It also helps a building be ready to transition to low carbon heating in the future.
Now, the new Part L revisions promote lower temperature flow rates, which enables condensing boilers to operate to the best of their capability.
This is a great opportunity for customers. More efficient boilers mean less gas is needed for heating and hot water, helping organisations to reduce their direct emissions as they edge towards decarbonisation, and allowing businesses to save on their energy bills.
