Regulation & Legislation

Your initial consultation will focus on determining your climate control needs. However, there are some other practical considerations you should be aware of.

In many cases planning permission is not needed for the installation of air conditioning. However, if the installation is part of a new building or a building extension please see planning permission for some initial guidance.

Most new build or extensions to commercial premises have to comply with new tougher building regulations. These include Part L aimed at reducing carbon footprint & Part F which ensures adequate ventilation to avoid sick building syndrome.

New build domestic homes will need to be aware of the impact of the Code for Sustainable Homes on their climate control requirements.
