• energy consumption affects the environment
• how energy efficiency affects the role of the heating
installer
• legislation that will force changes and to prepare for
assessment
• The importance of efficient heating and hot water systems
The emission of "greenhouse gases" is believed to cause
climate change By far the largest of the emissions is Carbon
Dioxide (C02), C02 is produced as a result of burning fossil
fuels (gas, oil coal, etc) 16% of C02 emitted in UK comes from
domestic heating.
• Building Regulations Part L1 2002- tougher from 2005
• Energy Efficiency Commitment (EEC)- obligation on gas &
electricity suppliers
• Local WarmFront and The Energy Saving Trust - energy
efficiency advice centres
The Carbon Trust The law - penalties if you don't comply, Wet
central heating is now a "controlled service", Major changes,
replacements, and new installations are all regulated Affects
