This section is excellent and in many ways is the most important part of the guide. The points made here need to have the highest priority of all and this needs to be made clear.

12.2.2 "including heat pumps" may be limiting. Current work at the University of Salford is including infra-red heating as a possible option in appropriate conditions. The design guide should at least allow for advances in technology and heating design.

12.2.3 These design aims are excellent. It may be reasonable to add some ideas about handling heat-waves as well? Some of this is covered very lightly in 6.22.12 but it should be referenced in more detail in this section. I notice that external shutters, as used in southern Europe, are not referenced, and they may be the most appropriate form of shuttering. Commentary on this type of should be included.

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.

6.24.7 "opportunities should be sought to install photovoltaic (PV) panels on south facing roof pitches", but the need to hide the panels may discourage their use. My comment on the whole chapter suggests that low energy building should have priority and yet this paragraph has a negative feel.
