House Extensions & Excessive Glazing Calculations

Are you dreaming of a light airy extension for your property?

Modern living means we want a constant visual connection with the outdoors. This is often achieved by large expanses of glass whether in the walls or in the roof. If you are constructing an extension that has in excess of 25% of the floor area (plus the area of any openings no longer exposed) as glazing then calculations must be provided to Building Control to demonstrate compliance with Part L1B of the Building Regulations. Don’t panic!

You don’t have to reduce the amount of glazing… let us provide the necessary calculations to ensure compliance. At Oakland Energy we can provide the required SAP Calculations to ensure compliance is achieved. This will include any recommendations needed on improving the existing dwelling or the fabric of the new extension (although this is not generally needed).
