The BCIA has released two new technical guides covering environmental impact and energy usage.
The first guide covers the various building assessment schemes, including BREEAM, LEED, NABERS, RESET, WELL Being Standard, and WiredScore.
The second guide provides an overview of the UK and European Regulations for non-domestic buildings. Driven by the European Union and adopted into UK law, the Energy Performance of Buildings directive (EPBD) and the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), have been the instruments to regulate energy consumption and set targets to reach net zero carbon emissions.
BCIA President Graeme Rees said:
With an ever-increasing focus on sustainability and Net Zero anyone working in the built environment should be familiar with Building Assessment Schemes and up to date sustainability goals. These new Technical Guides are an excellent resource providing an easy reference overview on these subjects.
The BCIA’s technical guides are designed to help members and those in the building controls and BEMS industry work more effectively.
