Regulation & Planning.

Approved Documents include inclusive of Part B – Fire Safety, Part F – Ventilation, Part L – Conservation of fuel and power and Part R – in building physical infrastructure communication networks.

The Approved Documents are frequently updated to help the UK reach net zero carbon by 2050, as well as providing a benchmark for sustainability and energy efficiency. Part O – Overheating and Part S – Infrastructure for the charging of electric vehicles are examples of new documents that must be implemented. To ensure compliance we actively liaise with Building Control throughout each project.

RHB can also provide assistance to clients/developers planning applications by producing Energy and Sustainability statements.

It has proved valuable to the client/developer to bring RHB in during Stage 1 & 2 design, to help advise on plant locations, plant rooms and risers throughout the development in coherence with the preferred energy strategy. This aids in developing drawings and space planning requirements.
