The Part L Debacle
It’s all been so horribly predictable. SBEM’s reputation lies in tatters, IES are promising their software will be ready end of next week, and Building Control haven’t even been trained yet. I spoke to Hevacomp late last week. Their SAP 2005 software (which was approved last version, SAP 2001) needs to be run on 130 test projects, of which the auditor will randomly check several. 130! At least we’ll know the software works thoroughly after all of that. Let’s just ignore the fact that the industry need to be using it from LAST THURSDAY.
Is Part L a leap too far? I really hope not, but after the dust settles on the software cock-ups and the missing tier 2 documentation, the fun really starts. We’ll all have to start designing low carbon buildings, whether we’re ready or not.
