Building Log Books must be provided as part of theBuilding Regulations Approved Document (L2). Their purpose is to provide details of the installed building services plant and controls, their method of operation and maintenance (often a cross reference to the O&M Manuals) and other details that collectively enable energy consumption to be monitored and controlled.
It is a legal requirement to maintain the Log Book to reflect the building installation. The majority of the required documentation to meet the requirements are contained within a comprehensive Asset Register and the Operation & Maintenance Manuals, however the following additional information is required to satisfy the Building Regulations:
- A description of the Building, its intended use and purpose and its design Philosophy
- Schedules of buildings energy meters and sub-meters for each fuel, location, identification, description and usage instructions. These should be related to design consumptions and compared with appropriate published benchmarks.
- A design assessment should be provided of the building services systems carbon emissions related to comparable benchmarks such as the Energy Consumption Guide 19 "Energy use in offices" (ECON 19).
- The air permeability of the building should be measured and a report appended.
Working closely with the Architects, Mechanical & Electrical Consultants, Project Team and Contractors W&S prepare Building Log Books using the CIBSE TM31 Log Book Template.
