The United Kingdom Government is focusing on conservatories and home
extensions to help reach its carbon reduction target by 2020.

BOURNEMOUTH, England, May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Although the Government has
suffered defeat once in 2002 with the same proposed legislation managing
directory of Conservatory Quote Online.com - Stephen Giles said: "We expect
the Government to be successful in 2010 as it only has 10 years to achieve the
carbon emissions target and part L of the Building Regulations is the only
tool they have to use."

Proposed 2010 version of Part L of the Building Regulations

The draft consultation for the 2010 version of 'Part L of the Building
Regulations' is to include conservatories for the first time, the new 2010
version of Part L would apply higher carbon reduction targets for all
conservatory out buildings, impose electric heating restrictions as well as
floor, wall and glass restrictions all aimed at making conservatory
outbuildings more energy efficient.

What Does This Mean To UK Home Owners?

"Home owners will be expected to pay thousands of pounds extra for their
Conservatories which will impact heavily on the conservatory supply and
installation industry. Most conservatory buyers at present secure some form of
finance for these type home extensions, plus the fact that we are in a
recession and most people have already had to tighten their budgets the only
logical conclusion is that by adding further cost the market will suffer
putting a strain on suppliers and the building industry" - Stephen Giles

Federation of Master Builders

In a direct response to the new 'Part L' proposal Brian Berry, external
affairs director of the Federation of Master Builders, said it was likely to
reduce demand from the domestic sector at the worst point of the economic
cycle. "Right now the industry needs a kick start, not a kicking."
