Part L questions

[Killy Bing]

hey guys.

ive posted this up in the arms as not to show the public how clueless some of us are....

i have an office to install a boiler + central heating to it

now i know its classed differently to a house hold but i cant make head nor tail of part L in relation to it !!

ive just used TACMA's guidelines for houses in the past.

help would be seriously appreciated

Air changes ? Is there ac or any cooling plant as heating and cooling cannot run at same time ! How big is office and why on earth so they want rads? Mitsubishi ASHP works as AC in summer? Much more even heat? Cassettes in celing on unistrut air recovery boxes and then condensers outside? Moves heat around office space and is part l compliant and it has heat recovery and zonal interlock?

Shove a plate on it and run small unvented and ufh in loos?

Don't forget to declare it then will ya

 

[Killy Bing]

oh gosh, looks like i'm a touch out of my depths.
idiots guide please destroyer ?

ermi
only have a pair of hot taps back to back no point in fitting the wb.
council say it needs heating but wont accept electric so gas it is.
its just one floor to be done. it has the communal loos, small kitchen, waiting room and operators office.
pretty much all pipework is surface as for some odd reason as the floor is cast concrete as is the ceiling with no suspended going in !!

this place is going to be a head ache......

Bogs and reception one zone and office and kitchen other. Tamper proof stat in public area. 7 day programmer.

Its a new build so will fall under SAP requirements as far as I know, that's why they won't accept electric as the carbon is to high.

You should let the specifier/builder spec the heating unless you want to get involved in SAP calcs. They can take liability if building control don't like it.

its L2A if its new build.

Chris Watkins would be the man to speak to on this one I should imagine?

Defo a design job if new build. SAP time consuming. Lots if factors air test , insulation ........ Job should be fully designed for you by m&e consultant.
