Building regs, regards zoning

[Sharp Point]

Hi guys, just a quick un. Has the regs changed for zoning of levels? I’m doing some some new builds and the architect has said that all houses regardless of floor area has to be zoned... ie upstairs/ downstairs. Anybody heard this?

Thanks

Yes or anything over 150m2 foot print (open room)

I’m aware of the over 150m2, these houses are poxy 2 up 2 down and about 50m2 footprint

Thanks

Every home must be divided into at least two heating zones, using a thermostat controlling a motorised valve.
If the house is smaller (less than 150m2), then these can be controlled by the same timer.
If the house is larger (more than 150m2), then each zone must be controlled by its own timer.
Every radiator should be fitted with a radiator thermostat, unless it is the reference radiator for a thermostat
(i.e. the radiator where the room thermostat is fitted).
