zoning upstairs and downstairs heating

[Mgrant]

On new builds is it now a regulation to zone upstairs and downstairs heating?

If the total floor area is over 150 sq M IIRC

Total mate, If you've u/f downstairs and rads up you've met the minimum, although there are other more EE ways of doing it

Been about for years. Not many building inspectors check, or know how to check if it has been seperatly zoned. Gas safe pick up on it too.


Most houses I do theses days have ufh downstairs, so are seperate anyway.
