HC Deb 05 July 1989 vol 156 c179W
Mr. Pike

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) what standards are laid down for installation of air conditioning in office buildings;

(2) what standards are laid down for the operation of air conditioning in office buildings.

Mr. Trippier

There are no requirements in the Building Regulations 1985 which relate directly to the installation and operation of air conditioning equipment. The code of practice in widespread use is BS 5750: 1979, which covers the design installation and maintenance of such systems.
