RHAN 1 Cyffredinol

1.—( 1) Enw’r Rheoliadau hyn yw Rheoliadau Adeiladu (Diwygio) (Cymru) 2014.

(2) Mae’r Rheoliadau hyn yn gymwys o ran Cymru ond nid ydynt yn gymwys o ran adeiladau ynni a eithrir yng Nghymru.

(3) Daw’r Rheoliadau hyn i rym ar 31 Gorffennaf 2014.

(4) Yn y rheoliad hwn, mae i “adeilad ynni a eithrir” yr ystyr a roddir i “excepted energy building” yn yr Atodlen i Orchymyn Gweinidogion Cymru (Trosglwyddo Swyddogaethau) (Rhif 2) 2009(1).

“Primary energy consumption rate calculations

27A.— (1) This regulation applies where a building (other than a dwelling) is erected and regulation 26A applies.

(2) Not later than the day before the work starts, the person carrying out the work must give the local authority a notice which specifies—

(a) the target primary energy consumption rate for the building;

(b) the calculated primary energy consumption rate for the building as designed; and

(c) a list of specifications to which the building is to be constructed.

(3) Not later than five days after the work has been completed, the person carrying out the work must give the local authority—

(a) a notice which specifies—

(i) the target primary energy consumption rate for the building;

(ii) the calculated primary energy consumption rate for the building as constructed; and

(iii) whether the building has been constructed in accordance with the list of specifications referred to in paragraph 2(c), and if not a list of any changes to those specifications; or

(b) a certificate of the sort referred to in paragraph (4) accompanied by the information referred to in sub-paragraph (a).

(4) A local authority is authorised to accept, as evidence that the requirements of regulation 26A have been satisfied, a certificate to that effect by an energy assessor who is accredited to produce such certificates for that category of building.

“Consequential improvements to energy performance

28.— (1) Paragraph (3) applies to an existing building with a total useful floor area over 1000m² where the proposed building work consists of or includes—

(a) the initial provision of any fixed building services; or

(b) an increase to the installed capacity of any fixed building services.

(2) (2) Paragraph (3) applies to an existing building where the proposed building work consists of or includes—
