The poll, by international multidisciplinary consultancy hurleypalmerflatt, of leading corporate occupiers, blue chip developers and architects,reveals concerns about the readiness and need for greater help and guidance to ensure successful implementation of the new requirements.
The legislation affecting the design, development and occupation of new and refurbished buildings, coming into force on 1st October 2010, will introduce a raft of new measures to cut carbon emissions, by 25% in comparison to 2006 standards (subject to the outcomes of a Government consultation due to be published in the coming weeks).
The key findings of the research include:
- 58% feel that communication about Part L requirements has not been clear or easy to understand.
- 63% of respondents are not sure how to implement Part L.
- Nearly half (44%) of respondents are unclear on how Part L will impact on projects currently in the planning and design stage.
- 68% believe that compliance with Part L will significantly increase costs.
