On 8 and 9 November 2005, Cibse, with the support of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, will hold a two-day conference, focused on informing industry about the changes to Parts L and F of the new Building Regulations.
The conference will provide a comprehensive summary of the main changes to the Building Regulations, along with an assessment of the principal implications for the construction industry.
The event will provide the timelines for implementation, the penalties for non-compliance and the process for enforcement. The two-day programme features influential speakers from both public and commercial sectors, including representatives from the ODPM, BIFM, Carbon Trust, BRE, BSRIA, B&Q, Hoare Lea, Arup, FaberMaunsell and the Sustainable Development Commission.
The revisions to the building regulations will have a significant impact on the construction industry. It is vital that building designers, constructors, owners and operators are all fully informed about the revisions and their implications. This event covers the whole of the construction chain and is suitable for anyone who may have to deal with the changes to the Building Services Regulations in respect of Part L. Specific topics include:
• the objectives of the revised regulations
• the building certification process
• the simplified calculation procedure and commercial calculation tools
• operational ratings
• the financial implications for the industry and ways to get help
• inspection regimes for boilers and air conditioning
• the role for architects, facilities managers and building control officers.
