Conservatories enhance light and space, but anyone who wants this coveted addition to the home will soon need to demonstrate that it is not creating “unwanted solar gains” as part of new climate change regulations.
As the world warms, the UK is likely to have hotter and drier summers expected to reach temperatures of 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) – which means glass institutes could get unbearably hot. From June of this year, Any conservatory added to a new build house will have to show that it does not heat up in the summer, As part of measures aimed at protecting future homes from rising temperatures.
The new rules, which follow the calls of environmental groups, will limit the size of the window to a certain ratio related to the floor area of the room and the house. It will also depend on the direction they are facing and how vulnerable the house is to overheating, but will not include the extensions.
“We can build highly glazed buildings but smaller companies that do a number of different types of housing on one project may avoid them, given the potential cost of thermodynamic modeling in each home,” said Rikko Vojtolovic, head of housing policy and planning at the National Federation of Builders.

Rico also said conservatories could become a more “premium product” as lower-priced companies give up on development. Additionally, new rules could make home designs more standardized as builders try to avoid playing with different layouts.
Andrew Mitchell, director of energy services at Stroma construction consultancy, added: “Conservatories are a loophole in regulations as long as you keep the gap. You can keep the conservatory if you have that spacer from home. If you’re going to heat it up, I’ve run into problems straight away. We’ll get on boring homes across the country because regulations are becoming very difficult.”
