SESG/CIBSE Seminar
Posted : May 19, 2011 by Ya Roderick, Category: events
Last month I was asked to attend and present at a SESG/CIBSE seminar at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. The event was held to explore the latest developments in the Scottish Regulations, and to investigate the concept and future implications of “zero carbon” building in Scotland.
My presentation mainly focused on the key changes in 2010 Section 6 and 2010 Part L2A in terms of building compliance simulations. It also carried out a good comparison study between these two new regulations to see how buildings will be affected respectively by these regulations in terms of compliance. An example was set up based on an office building which was comfortably passed the compliance under both previous Section 6 and PartL2A, but failed in the new regulations. Different improvement strategies have been taken to see which area can be looked at to improve the building performance. You can find my presentation below and as always any feedback is very welcome.
Overall this was an interesting event which generated a lot of exciting discussion, while also demonstrating that these are issues that are high on the agenda in Scotland. Other speakers included members of BRE, SESG and the Scottish Building Standards Division, addressing issues such as research perspectives and industry reactions to the current technical standards. I am now looking forward to reporting back from such forward thinking Scottish events in the future!
