Part L Compliance Support

Fading Footprints Ltd provides Part L compliance support for commercial developments, refurbishments, fit-out projects and public sector buildings across the UK.

We work with developers, architects, M&E consultants, contractors and design teams to help projects achieve compliance with Part L Building Regulations while supporting improved energy performance, EPC outcomes and low-energy building design.

Established in 2008, we provide practical and commercially focused compliance support from early design stage through to project completion.

What Is Part L Compliance?

Part L of the Building Regulations relates to the conservation of fuel and power within buildings.

For commercial buildings, Part L compliance is designed to improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and support better building performance standards.

Part L compliance commonly forms part of:

New Commercial Developments
Refurbishment Projects
Extensions & Alterations
Commercial Fit-Outs
Educational Buildings
Public Sector Developments
Office & Industrial Projects

Compliance is typically demonstrated using SBEM calculations and BRUKL reports.
