This section includes acceptance of external details relating to low energy designs, such as PV installations and ventilation, and related
detail such as living roofs. There is also coverage of south facing housing (but not high street buildings) using shutters and shading to
control solar gain. This is very necessary, but the tone generally hints at a preference for hiding such things. The section should indicate that all new buildings need to be low energy. The whole section already covers anything that might arise. All that is needed in the initial reinforcement.
