Article 3(a) of the 2009 Order provided that functions were not transferred so far as they were exercisable in relation to an excepted energy building as defined by the Schedule to that Order. Section 54 of the Wales Act 2017 (c. 4) removed this exclusion by making the necessary provision for the transfer of functions under the 1984 Act for that category of buildings."
