PART L BUILDING REGULATIONS 
RENEWABLE HEAT IS MENTIONED 
“When replacing a heating appliance, consideration 
should be given to connecting to any existing local heat 
networks. If the work involves pipework changes, 
consideration should be given to providing capped off 
connections to facilitate subsequent connection to a 
planned local heat network.” 
L1B & L2B 
“Providing appropriate facilities at the construction stage can make 
subsequent enhancements much easier and cheaper, e.g. 
providing capped off connections that can link into a planned 
community heating scheme.”

PART L BUILDING REGULATIONS 
RENEWABLE HEAT IS MENTIONED 
If thermal energy is supplied from a district or 
community heating or cooling system, emission 
factors should be determined by considering the 
particular details of the scheme. 
Calculations should take account of the annual 
average performance of the whole system (i.e. the 
distribution circuits and all the heat generating plant, 
including any Combined Heat and Power (CHP), and 
any waste heat recovery or heat dumping).

GROUND-SOURCE PROBES 
PE 100 PROBES & NEW GENERATION PE-RC 
PE 100: 
- Standard pipe material in UK market 
- Should be manufactured to SKZ HR 3.26 test 
regulations 
- Lower pressure losses due to flow-enhancing 
bend (coefficient of pressure loss  = 0,34 ) 
Point load standing times 
comparison between PE 100 and 
PE-RC 
New generation is PE 100- 
RC: 
- Polyethylene Resistant to 
Crack 
- Improved point load 
resistance over PE 100

REHAU 
GROUND-SOURCE THERMAL PILES 
EXPLOITING THE BUILDING‘S FOUNDATIONS 
Pipework can be integrated into structural piles to 
exploit ground-source energy. 
PE-Xa is more suited to thermal piles due to its 
improved bending radii (no joints needed in pile). 
Thermal piles have to be used for heating and 
cooling. 
Helical pipes can be used to 
reduce installation times and 
increase heat transfer over 
meander thermal piles.

REHAU 
GROUND-SOURCE LAYOUT 
EXAMPLE LAYOUT & PIPEWORK REQUIRED 
In most projects, multiple ground 
loops are managed using an 
external manifold. 
This is typically housed in an 
external chamber (either pre-fabricated 
or built on site). 
Benefits: 
• Reduced condensation risk 
• Ease of access 
• Less pipes entering plant room
© 
REHAU 
GROUND-SOURCE ACCESSORIES 
MANIFOLD & CHAMBERS 
Modular manifolds: 
- Offer flexibility on-site due to modular design 
- Up to 12 ports per manifold 
- Low pressure losses due to 2 ½ internal 
diameter

REHAU 
BIOMASS 
BIOMASS DISTRICT HEATING 
Biomass district heating schemes work well 
because: 
• Biomass boilers are often bulkier than traditional 
boilers, hence typically located in external plant 
room, not individual houses 
• Require regular wood chip or pellet deliveries to 
only one central plant 
• Can be located discreetly on site extremes 
• Qualifies for Renewable Heat Incentive
© 
REHAU 
DISTRICT HEATING 
DEFINITION 
Hot water or steam is centrally produced 
- Transported via an insulated pipe network 
- Connected to individual properties via a heat 
interface unit 
- Heat metered 
- Heat delivered via conventional heating systems
© 
REHAU 
DISTRICT HEATING 
BENEFITS 
Large carbon savings possible 
Economies of scale – increase efficiency 
Ideal for technologies not feasible on individual 
properties (e.g. biomass / energy from waste) 
Future proof – easy to change fuel source 
Minimise maintenance using one central plant – 
no individual gas checks required

PIPE SIZING 
IMPORTANCE OF OPTIMISING THE FLOW / RETURN TEMPERATURES 
Most flow temperatures are ca. 80°C: 
- Extends pipe lifespan 
- Makes a safer network (no steam) 
Ensure return temperature is as low as 
possible (high ΔT): 
- Reduces pipe size - > reduce capital 
costs 
- Reduces heat losses (improves 
efficiency)

If the work involves pipework changes, consideration should be given to providing capped off connections to facilitate subsequent connection to a planned local heat network.” L1B & L2B “Providing appropriate facilities at the construction stage can make subsequent enhancements much easier and cheaper, e.g. providing capped off connections that can link into a planned community heating scheme.” L1A Source: Conservation of Fuel & Power, L1A Domestic New Build, L1B Existing dwellings, L2A New Build other than Dwellings, L2B Exisiting Buildings other than Dwellings
  • 16. © REHAU PART L BUILDING REGULATIONS RENEWABLE HEAT IS MENTIONED If thermal energy is supplied from a district or community heating or cooling system, emission factors should be determined by considering the particular details of the scheme. Calculations should take account of the annual average performance of the whole system (i.e. the distribution circuits and all the heat generating plant, including any Combined Heat and Power (CHP), and any waste heat recovery or heat dumping). L2A Grid electricity for heat pumps TER is calculated by with a fuel factor of 1.47 L1A
