Elex Sandown Park, the 18th Edition and Section 8

[Andy78]

Playing devil's avocado here, are the contents of this proposed section going to have much of an effect on day to day working practices ?
Is this not a case of the regs just catching up with what is already being effected in electrical design and installation ?

Energy efficiency and energy conservation have been included for a good while now in formal training so it should be second nature to many electricians.

Low energy lighting is now commonplace and has been included in the building regulations for a while now. Intelligent lighting systems that save energy are pretty much standard in commercial specifications.

I already calculate maximum demand using energy efficient options, e.g. no it's not 100W per light fitting any more despite what the IET says. They need to catch up on simple things like that.
