Building Regulations Part L1A2013 – (new build dwellings)
If the installation of our boiler is in a new build property or in an existing
property and it is a first-time installation then the heating system must fully
conform to all current building regulations Part L1A.
This can be an exception for a single-story open plan dwelling where the
living area is more than 70% of the useable floor area, in this case this zone
can be controlled and treated as a single zone.
Individual TRVs can be used on the system also.
For dwellings with a floor area over 150 m2, a separate time and temperature
control for each individual zone is required.
TRVs should also be installed in a minimum of sleeping areas and as best
practice on all radiators with the exception of the room or area where the
room thermostat is installed.
Building Regulations Part L1B 2010 – existing dwellings
Where an appliance replacement is to be installed onto an existing heating
system it is not mandatory to zone for an example the ground floor and
1st floor. To ensure compliance it is sufficient to install an external control
configuration that complies to the current Boiler Plus e.g. Smart stat, Boiler
Plus compliant room/programmable room stat.
TRVs should also be installed in a minimum of sleeping areas and as best
practice on all radiators with the exception of the room or area where the
room thermostat is installed.
