		+	[[Approved_document_L\|Part L]] of the [https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1057372/ADL1.pdf The Building Regulations 2010 - Conservation of Fuel and Power], sets forth regulations R40,R40A in Section 9 for ‘Providing Information’ to owners on new dwellings or for work to an existing dwelling. Although not all property logbooks are used to facilitate this regulatory requirement, they provide the ideal container to house the information for the new build and renovation sectors.
		+
		+	The regulation states that the operating and maintenance instructions should be given to the owners of the dwelling for any fixed building services and on-site electricity generation installed as part of the work. The instructions should contain sufficient information to help the occupiers achieve the expected level of energy efficiency and to verify that any fixed building services and on-site electricity generation comply with the energy performance requirements of the Building Regulations.
		+
		+	For new dwellings, the operating and maintenance instructions should include a Home User Guide (aka Handover Guide). The Home User Guide should contain non-technical advice on how to operate and maintain the dwelling in a healthy and energy efficient manner.
		+
		+	Historically, the required information has been presented in paper format or pdf’s on a USB stick. However, advances in technology mean that cloud native digital equivalents are being used that allows the data to be accessed from anywhere on any device.
