  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (“the principal Regulations”).\nRegulation 2(2) amends Schedule 5 to the principal Regulations so that the building standard in paragraph 6.1 (carbon dioxide emissions) applies to extensions to non-domestic buildings where the size of the extension will be greater than 100 square metres and 25% of the existing building. It also clarifies the existing exceptions to limitation (a).\nRegulation 2(3) amends the limitations to the building standard contained in paragraph 6.9 (energy performance certificates) of said Schedule 5 to clarify the exceptions to limitation (a)(iii).\nRegulation 3 is a transitional provision, the effect of which is that the amended Regulations will not apply to work which does not require a building warrant which is completed before 1st October 2015 or not completed before that date where the contract for the work is entered into before 1st October 2015 and the work is completed before 31st January 2016.\nA Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared and placed in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre.
