Colorcoat® Technical Paper - The role of the building envelope in Part L 2010 compliance

The 2010 revision of Approved Document L requires an aggregate 25% reduction in the CO2 emissions from buildings other than dwellings. Tata Steel have worked closely with cladding system manufacturers with technical input from Oxford Brookes University School of Architecture, to assess the impact of enhancing different aspects of the building envelope and provide guidance on which aspects of the building envelope and services will provide the greatest reduction in overall CO2 emissions.
