Skills and Supports Required for Businesses to Meet Decarbonisation Targets: Discussion
Dr. Fergus Sharkey:
The main consideration when addressing an industrial building is the mounting system for the solar PV. The mounting system must be compatible with the type of roof and needs to provide the level of anchoring required for wind loading and passive loads. There are Eurocodes. The code of practice we produced for domestic has been superseded by a national standard. There is no national standard in our code of practice for non-domestic buildings. They require calculations in line with Eurocodes to be conducted as part of the design process.
