Following on from the recent thread: "should i have a room thermostat with my combi boiler. "
Where it was made clear that this is required under the building regs when replacing a boiler, what else must be updated.
When you read the Domestic Building Compliance Guide 2010 ( Planning Portal - Building Services Compliance Guides )
If you take the interpretation that when replacing Gas fired boilers, you need to include for section 5 page 23, (i.e. a room thermostat) then how much else do you also need to change?
What says you do not need to upgrade the zones to section 1,2,3,4 or 6 ?
How do you differentiate? or where are the guides to what does and doesn't need to be updated?
Wher do you stop?
The comments on the thread that triggered this also claim that you need to provide interlock, - then what excludes the requirments to include more than one zone if the property is >150m2 ?
That then triggers the next question - with all the boiler replacements (straight swap) done under ECO, why weren't room stats required to be installed as well if they weren't there already?
