Compliance model
A Practical Guide to Building Thermal Modelling (BG48/2013) was published by BSRIA in 2013. It was written by Richard Tudor of WSP, with input from industry representatives. It defines a compliance model as: ‘A model to demonstrate compliance with the particular requirements of the Building regulations.’
