The [http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/uploads/br/domestic_building_services_compliance_guide.pdf Domestic Building Services Compliance Guide] is a government publication that provides guidance on the installation of building services in new and existing properties to assist with the energy efficiency compliance of the Building Regulations. It provides more detailed information on the guidance contained in Approved Document L1A: Conservation of fuel and power in new dwellings, and Approved Document L1B: Conservation of fuel and power in existing dwellings.

The most recent version of the guide was published in 2013 and came into effect in April 2014. The guide is concerned with the installation of:
*Space heating.
*Domestic hot water.
*Mechanical ventilation.
*Comfort cooling.
*Internal and external lighting.
*Low carbon heat generation through the use of heat pumps, solar thermal panels and micro-combined heat and power units.

It sets out recommended minimum energy efficiency standards for components of building services systems, including controls. For systems installed in new buildings, the standards are design limits. For new or replacement systems and components installed in existing buildings, the standards represent reasonable provision for complying with the building regulations.

It also provides supplementary information regarding good practice that exceeds the minimum standards, such as Microgeneration Certification Scheme standards.

The guide is broken down into four fuel-based sections and nine technology-specific parts:

Fuel based:
*Section 2 Gas-fired space and water heating.
*Section 3 Oil-fired space and water heating.
*Section 4 Electric heating.
*Section 5 Solid fuel heating.

Technology-specific:
*Section 6 Community heating.
*Section 7 Underfloor heating.
*Section 8 Mechanical ventilation.
*Section 9 Heat pumps.
*Section 10 Comfort cooling.
*Section 11 Solar water heating.
*Section 12 Lighting.
*Section 13 Micro-combined heat and power.
*Section 14 Heating system circulators.

Relevant European and UK legislation in relation to fixed building service product design and fitting include:
*The Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EC which provides a background for establishing the requirements for ‘energy related’ products. Currently, the requirements cover ‘energy-using’ products such as light bulbs and boilers, but in future they will also cover products whose use has an impact on energy consumptions such as windows and shower heads.
