	♦Many assessors will use the change in Energy Demand as stated on the Part L Report. This is technically wrong for various reasons, such as the Part L model not necessarily using realistic glazing in the notional building. Technically a building physicist should model two buildings, with the same glazing area, but with only the passive design measures varying. The baseline model should be modelled so that it is no worse than building regs values. You would then get two Part L Reports, and would need to compare the Primary Energy Demand (or CO2 emissions in BREEAM UK 2018 or International 2016) of the Actual Building for each to show a meaningful reduction.		♦Many assessors will use the change in Energy Demand as stated on the Part L Report.
