New climate change rules to outlaw any new-build conservatories that create ‘unwanted solar gain’ | Daily
Climate change looks set to claim an unexpected new victim – Britain’s conservatories. They may be a sought-after addition to many middle-class homes but the sun traps can overheat in our increasingly warm summers. As a result, regulations are being brought in that could make conservatories far rarer in new-build houses. From June, any conservatory intended as part of a new development will need to show it will not create ‘unwanted solar gain’. The change is part of a raft of measures aimed at future-proofing homes against summers where temperatures are predicted to reach 40C (104F). Though well above what is currently experienced in Britain, such highs would cause conservatories to become unbearably hot, often increasing the temperature uncomfortably indoors too.
