NEXT STEPS IN DEFINING OVERHEATING - Discussion paper

And, the method used to assess the risk of the property overheating and to demonstrate compliance with the Bedroom Temperature Threshold is appropriate for the property or scheme. [...] If the assessment design until the project team is able suggests the initial view was demonstrate that the scheme/property incorrect, modifications to the design has a low risk of overheating should be made to achieve a low risk (based on appropriate criteria) rating (based on appropriate criteria) The modelling exercise should also determine whether the rooms intended to be bedrooms are capable o. [...] The approach set out in this reduces the opportunity to use the fabric and the paper will also be new to some in the sector. [...] It would also be useful for any new tool to To reiterate, for either route, the modeller continue to be able to draw on some of the would always need to check the bedrooms data inputted into SAP to achieve consistency for compliance with the proposed Bedroom and avoid duplication of effort by modellers. [...] There are 3,600 hours in the Testing a range of values for the percentage of five-month period between 1 May and 30 hours the 26 °C threshold is allowed to be September.2 If the temperature was permitted to exceeded, on the basis of set night-time hours, exceed 26 °C for 3% of the time, this would total every night.
