In December 2005, Part L of the Building Regulations was amended to substantially increase energy conservation standards for non-domestic buildings, including Nursing Homes, with effect from 1 July 2006. I recently published the 2006 edition of Technical Guidance Document L on how to comply with the amended Part L regime.
