BRE to revise ventilation regs

A team from the Building Research Establishment (BRE) is working on plans to revise Part F of the Building Regulations, which covers ventilation.

BRE is providing technical and administrative support to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister's working group, which is considering changes and additions to Approved Document F that offers guidance on meeting the requirements of Part F.

Dr David Ross, who is leading the BRE team, said: "We are looking to integrate recent research and feedback from the public and industry to provide healthier buildings for the occupants and easier to follow guidance for the industry."

The revisions to Approved Document F may include the introduction of an "alternative more performance-based approach".
