The 2010 Building Regulations Explained

Portable Building Sales supply both new manufactured and quality pre-owned buildings that can comply with the latest 1st October 2010 Part L2A /B Building Regulations.

The Modular and Portable Building Industry is required under the revised Building Regulations 2010 to carry out carbon calculations and provide Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) for all Buildings which must be lodged with the Landmark registration body and are policed by Local Building Control.

It is essential that the company that you are purchasing a modular building from, is able to meet with the latest required obligations or the modular building that you submit to Local Building Control may not be accepted.

The new 2010 building regulations state that as from 1st October 2010 all new manufactured buildings must be 25% more energy efficient than the requirements of the 2006 building regulations.

All pre-owned modular buildings as from 1st October 2010 must be inspected by an accredited qualified assessor to determine the "U" values of the building, then these values are entered into an Sbem software calculator together with details of the specification of the building, the various zoned areas and an anticipated orientation of the building on its intended new location and in certain instances, an on site air test.

As a supplier of modular and portable buildings we are required to supply each purchaser with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) and a recommendation report.
