Window energy ratings (Energy Efficient Glass)

Part L of the Building Regulations for England and Wales (and Part F in Northern Ireland) includes Window Energy Ratings (WERs) as an alternative method of compliance.

The minimum level for replacement domestic windows is currently band E, however from the 1st October 2010 this will increase to a minimum band C. Additionally, in new dwellings, BFRC Ratings are now being used to guide building professionals towards more energy efficient design and building components.
