Regulation 6(n)

INSTALLATION OF PRODUCT ON SINGLE GLAZED WINDOW RAISING THERMAL EFFICIENCY

Prescribed activity under regulation 6(n): Installing on one or more single glazed windows in an external wall for a minimum glazing area of 5m ² , a product that complies with the criteria specified in Part A of Schedule 14.

PART A—CRITERIA

Item

    14A     A product that, when installed on a single glazed window, results in a still air gap being created between the single glazed window and the product and raises the thermal efficiency performance of the window.

PART B—CALCULATION OF CARBON DIOXIDE EQUIVALENTS OF GREENHOUSE GASES

The method and variables to be used to calculate in tonnes the carbon dioxide equivalent of greenhouse gases to be reduced by the installation of a product referred to in an item in Part A is determined by multiplying the area of glazing (m ² ) installed by the abatement factor for that item and by the regional factor applying to the place where the product is installed.

    The following are the abatement factors and regional factors for each item in Part A:
