(2)A word or expression used in these Regulations and which is also used in the Directive has, unless the context otherwise requires, the same meaning in these Regulations as it has in that Directive. Advice on heating systems 3.
(1)The SEAI shall provide advice to users concerning the replacement of heat generators, other modifications to the heating system or to the system for combined space heating and ventilation and alternative solutions to assess the efficiency and appropriate size of those systems.
(2)Prior to the application of the alternative measures mentioned in paragraph
(1), the SEAI shall document the equivalence of the impact of those measures to the impact of the alternative measures mentioned in Regulation 6. Advice on air-conditioning systems 4.
(1)The SEAI shall provide advice to users concerning the replacement of air-conditioning systems or systems for combined air-conditioning and ventilation, other modifications to the air-conditioning system or system for combined air-conditioning and ventilation and alternative solutions to assess the efficiency and appropriate size of those systems.
(2)Prior to the application of the alternative measures mentioned in paragraph
(1), the SEAI shall document the equivalence of the impact those measures to the impact of the alternative measures mentioned in Regulation 7. Documentation on equivalence 5.
(1)The documentation prepared by the SEAI under paragraph

(2)The inspections, referred to in paragraph
(1), would include an assessment of the efficiency and sizing of the heat generator compared with the heating requirements of the building and, where relevant, consider the capabilities of the heating system or of the system for combined space heating and ventilation to optimise its performance under typical or average operating conditions. Impact of advice: air-conditioning systems 7.
