We have world-class expertise in architecture, design and engineering, and British companies are leading the way in sustainable construction solutions. It is also a sector with considerable growth opportunities, with the global construction market forecast to grow by over 70% by 2025. Changes in the international economy are creating new opportunities for Britain. To help boost the economic recovery, Government is doing all it can to help British businesses grow and have the aspiration, confidence and drive to compete in the global race. This includes reforming the planning system, ensuring funding is available for key infrastructure projects and supporting the housing market through key initiatives such as the Help-to-Buy Equity Loan Scheme and the Funding for Lending Scheme. The Government wants to work with industry to ensure British companies are well-placed to take advantage of these opportunities. As part of our Industrial Strategy policy, the Government is building long-term partnerships with sectors that can deliver significant growth.

  • Design Checks for Electrical Services
    A BSRIA Guide www.bsria.co.uk Design Checks for Electrical Services A quality control framework for electrical engineers By Kevin Pennycook Supported by BG 3/2006 Design considerations Design issues Calculations Systems and equipment PREFACE Donald Leeper OBE The publication of Design Checks for Electrical Services is a welcome addition to the well received and highly acclaimed Design Checks for HVAC, published in 2002. The design guidance sheets provide information on design inputs, outputs and practical watch points for key building services design topics. The guidance given complements that in CIBSE Guide K, Electricity in Buildings, and is presented in a format that can be easily incorporated into a firm’s quality assurance procedures. From personal experience I have seen the benefit of such quality procedures. Once embedded within a process information management system, the guidance in this book will ensure consistent and high quality design information. When used for validation and verification, the design checks and procedures can also make a key contribution to a risk management strategy. The easy-to-follow layout and the breadth of content makes Design Checks for Electrical Services a key document for all building services engineers.
