AECB Webinar : Part L 2021 & the future homes standard – will we still need the AECB Building Standard?

May 24, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

future homes

AECB presents an overview of the updates coming for Part L and a quick look at the Future homes standard in 2025. Dr Sarah Price and Tim Wilcockson will look at how these Building Regulation standards compare with the AECB Building Standard and explore whether there is still a place for the AECB Building Standard after the Part L update comes into force in June 2022 or in the future.
