Pocket Guide - Second Edition
NOBO heating’s Pocket Guide to the building regulations goes from strength to strength. Following the recent launch of the second edition Pocket Guide on the use of electricity in building design, NOBO Heating has continued to assist consultants and professional specifiers with its authoritative document which covers energy efficiency and the use of electric heating design in domestic and commercial buildings.
The Building Regulations changes come into force this month and will once again affect the design and construction of all buildings. The aim of these regulations is to ensure that energy efficiency measures are considered at the early stage of a building’s design and that conservation of fuel and power are integrated into a development scheme.
John Wallis of John Wallis Architects in Surrey has commented:
‘The NOBO Heating guide is very useful, it provides information on the revised building regulations, case studies and product information which I have been able to share and discuss with my clients. It is re-assuring to know that there is always someone there who can answer a technical enquiry’.
The NOBO Heating Guide sets out 10 key issues for designing and specifying electric heating in line with the Building Regulations and provides benefit advantages and solutions as to why using electric heating is the preferred choice. Additionally the Guide includes detailed case studies, technical specification and extensive information on products available.
The Guide covers 10 key issues which include:
1. Operating Instructions & Energy Statement
