BSRIA co-author Roderic Bunn added: 'As domestic dwellings get more complex, with innovative low-energy heating and ventilation systems that have to conform to Part L of the 2006 Building Regulations, it is vital for designers and builders to understand how such systems work and the appropriate ways to install them.

The 32-page guide is published by Co-Construct, priced at £15.00 (Members) and £30.00 (Non-members).
