There are new guidance notes on sustainability and renewable issues, such as ‘Drivers for change’, ‘Overall performance targets’ and ‘Environmental issues’.

References to new and updated British Standards include BS 9999:2008 — the code of practice for fire safety in the design, management and use of buildings.

Pre-edit questions have been reviewed for the self-contained sections, and clauses on fire and smoke dampers revised to suit the latest test requirements.
