Driving the reduction of carbon emissions in new homes, and working in alignment with the Code for Sustainable Homes, ADL2010 provides the framework for the delivery of new dwellings at a minimum of Code Level 3 in the UK.
The objective of achieving a 25% reduction on 2006 DER rates has an impact in all areas, including ventilation; however, everything continues to be brought together and delivered through SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure).
Regarding ventilation, SAP will use the new default settings for zero infiltration designs (<5ach @ 50Pa) and the use of SAP Appendix Q will continue to reward energy efficient systems specifically.
ADL2010 has also been published with an associated document: The Domestic Building Services Compliance Guide.
