Abstract

The AECB’s long-standing criticism of the Part L and Code for Sustainable Homes’ system for achieving water savings has at last borne fruit, and for the first time an appliance-based standard is being proposed for demonstrating compliance with the Building Regulations.

Nonetheless criticisms remain, both of the proposed efficiency levels, and the criteria governing when they can be required.

This article contains AECB’s formal response to the DCLG consultation questions on water efficiency, along with some background. Members are free to use this document to inform their own responses.
