    All of them! :)

    If you mean Part L (i.e. insulation) then it would be 2008.

    I suppose I asked for that.

    Nice one, thanks

    In general, this document applies to works to
    new dwellings, where the work commences
    or takes place, as the case may be, on or
    after 1 December 2011. Insofar as the
    guidance contained therein relates to
    dwellings, Technical Guidance Document L -
    Conservation of Fuel and Energy – Dwellings
    (2008 Edition) ceases to have effect from 1
    December 2011.
    However, the foregoing document may
    continue to be used in the case of dwellings: -
    - where the work, material alteration or the
    change of use commences or takes
    place, as the case may be, on or before
    30 November 2011, or
    - where planning approval or permission
    has been applied for on or before 30
    November 2011 and substantial work
    has been completed by 30 November
    2013.
    “Substantial work has been completed”
    means that the structure of the external walls
    has been erected.http://www.environ.ie/en/Publications/DevelopmentandHousing/BuildingStandards/FileDownLoad,27316,en.pdf

    sas, the caveat highlights other issue with using the 08 regs

    Yeah, I won't be involved in this build so they will definitely have moved in by then.
