    Firstly, this is just a curious bystander type question, as somebody who has has recently built a house (hopefully a A3 when the BER comes through), im quite curious about what regulations apply to businesses.

    To put it another way, the regulations seem to want people to be building passive (or close) houses by 2020. On the other hand, if you go into just about any big shop (Tescos etc) its basically just a giant galvanised shed with massive electric heaters. Does it really make sense to load joe soap with the cost of a passive home when the DIY store next door is burning Kilowatts a minute to keep the customers cosy while they shop in the frozen food isle

    commercial business are also subject to rigorous energy efficiency regulations.

    part L is split into two versions, domestic and non domestic.

    compliance with regulations is also assessed by use of computer software, although a different programme from domestic dwellings is used.
