United Kingdom Building Regulations: Compliance Road Map
Alan Fox, CEng, MCIBSE, AECOM
The United Kingdom Building Regulations set minimum compliance standards in several categories, including achieving acceptable carbon dioxide emission rates, setting minimum standards for building fabric performance and efficiencies of engineering systems, and providing information on the construction, commissioning, and operation of the building This poster illustrates the key steps at each design stage milestone that the design teams have to undertake in order to meet regulatory compliance in the United Kingdom.
