Well, since I've no idea what "Part L" is and your link doesn't describe it, hard to say! As to "carbon reduction" please, let's not dip in the mythological "Global Warming" pool...

Part L is the part of British Building regulations relating to the conservation of power and energy in buildings
As a matter of interest how do other countries tackle this ( so called ) problem ?

In grey: 2003 regulations, in black 2007 regs, and in red (oh yeah !) the new ones. The percentual numbers illustrate the changes from the previous versions.
