What is a key requirement for a building to be suitable for a micro-combined heat and power (mCHP) system?

• The building should have a low demand for heating.

• The building should have a high demand for heating.

• The building should have poor insulation.

• The building should be small in size.

Why is a building with good and effective insulation not normally suitable for a micro-combined heat and power (mCHP) system?

• It is too expensive to install.

• It is unlikely to have a high demand for heating.

• It requires too much maintenance.

• It is not energy efficient.

What is the relevance of Building Regulation A?

• Where components affect the load placed on the structure of the building or excavations are close to the building

• Where holes for pipework reduce the fire-resisting integrity of the structure

• Water efficiency

• Installation of supply and control wiring for the system

Which Building Regulation is concerned with fire safety?

• A

• B

• C

• E

What does Building Regulation C address?

• Resistance to sound

• Sanitation, hot water safety, and water efficiency

• Resistance to contaminants and moisture

• Heat producing appliances

Which Building Regulation is related to water efficiency?

• G

• J

• L

• P

What is the focus of Building Regulation L?

• Electrical safety

• Conservation of fuel and power

• Heat producing appliances

• Resistance to sound

When is planning permission not normally required for installing an mCHP in a domestic property?

• When the work is external

• When the work is internal

• When the property is a listed building

• When the property is in a conservation area

What should be checked with the local authority if the installation requires an external flue?

• If the property is a listed building

• If the work is internal

• If it is classed as a permitted development

• If the property is in a conservation area

What must be done if the property is a listed building or within a conservation area?

• No action is needed

• Check with the local authority for both internal and external work

• Only check for external work

• Only check for internal work
