Meeting Building Regulations for Micro CHP

If you're considering installing a micro-combined heat and power (CHP) system – a clever unit that generates both electricity and heat simultaneously – you must ensure your installation fully complies with all pertinent Building Regulations. This crucial requirement isn't just bureaucratic; it's designed to guarantee that your system is fitted safely and operates efficiently, meeting strict benchmarks for energy performance, adequate ventilation, and overall structural soundness.

To obtain official certification for your installation, you have two primary options: either notify your local council's building control department, or engage a qualified professional from an approved competent person scheme to sign off on the work.
