    Looking to become familiar with the energy requirements of the Building Regulations and related topics such as Air tightness. At this point im not interested in BER or BR Compliance certification.
    Any advice on where to start - Part L and TGD L? CIF guide?
    I'm familiar with 'old style' construction e.g insulated cavity walls, attic ventilation strips but am ignorant of topics like heat recovery and solar panels.
    Thanks for any tips.

    do the free stuff on sites like the SEAI academy.

    “I can’t pay my staff or mortgage with instagram likes”.

    if your looking to learn how to calculate u values and air tightness , google "tipp energy u values" there is a few modules that are made easy to follow

    or the DEAP manual explains everything too, as does Part L.
