The May 2006 edition of Technical Guidance L (Conservation of Fuel and Energy) contains advice on how new dwellings should be constructed, and existing dwellings reconstructed, to comply with building energy performance standards mandated by Part L of the Building Regulations. This guidance is also produced on the Department's website: www.environ.ie. Advisory information on how householders generally can conserve energy and cut heating fuel bills is published by Sustainable Energy Ireland (SEI); and is available from the SEI website: www.sei.ie.
