We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Building Regulation",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Buildingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Combined heat and power in the green capitol from
ENER.G, which we summarised at the time by saying "CHP technology in London will enable the UK's tallest residential building to generate its own heat and electricity on site, helping to reduce energy bills and shrink its carbon footprint".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Brett Martin gets even warmer with Ritchlight from
Brett Martin Daylight Systems: "Ritchlight Ultra, a major new development in architectural roof lights by Brett Martin Daylight Systems, introduces a fully thermally broken frame for the first time in any skylight system".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Vent-Axia
concerning its LinX by Vent-Axia
- take a look at High quality ventilation from Vent-Axia
which says: "LinX by Vent-Axia is a comprehensive, new range of equipment for contractors designed to deliver reliable, high quality ventilation at a value for money price".
Take a look also at the news release from Titon, Part F compliance: CD-based calculator,
as well as KNX provides the platform at Terminal 5 from KNX UK,
and Ruling in favour of ACTIS against DCLG from ACTIS Insulation.
