Do FCU comply with the new Part L Building Regulations?

Yes they do. Members worked closely with the DCLG when they developed the new Part L in 2006 and they all supply fan coil units that comply with the regulations.

Some end users have had difficulty in understanding the requirements for Specific Fan Power (SFP) under the new Part L. To help, the FCU Group had prepared the following position statements:-

• HEVAC position statement for Acoustic Design Principles Iss1.pdf
• HEVAC position statement for Airflow Commissioning Iss1.pdf
• HEVAC position statement for Entering Air Temp Iss1.pdf
• HEVAC position statement for SBEM using FCUs Iss2.pdf
