March 29, 2006—Managing buildings more efficiently is one of the central planks in the United Kingdom’s drive to cut carbon emissions and reduce the effects of global warming.
Building owners, surveyors, facilities managers and tenants now face new responsibilities under the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and Part L (Conservation of Fuel and Power) of the Building Regulations to tackle energy efficiency in all new buildings and when refurbishing existing buildings.
A new 120-page special report by Workplace Law provides insight into the key requirements of the new legislation and the practical measures needed to comply with the law. Written by researcher Bernie Sheehan and current Chairman of the British Institute of Facilities Management, Mick Dalton, the report includes case studies, interviews, and contributions from the leading experts in energy management in the UK, including Carbon Trust, The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), Energy Performance Group, Department for Environmental, Food and Rural Affairs, Electrical Contractors Association, Heating and Ventilating Contractors Association, CBI, Federation of Small Businesses, British Property Federation and the Association of Interior Specialists.
