April 2010 - Building Regulations Approved Document G is being updated

The Building Regulations is a set of pre-defined standards ensuring good building practices and workmanship. The new edition of Part G (Sanitation, Hot Water Safety and Water Efficiency) will come into force on 6 April 2010 and brings about significant changes to the design of hot and cold water supplies in buildings.

The new requirements include prevention of scalding by the use of a thermostatic mixing valve or an in-line blending valve to improve safety, a water efficiency standard of 125 litres per person per day for new homes and setting out where greywater and harvested rainwater can be safely used supports sustainability targets through saving water and associated carbon emissions without impacting on customer behaviour.
