Building Bulletin 87 — Guidelines for Environmental Design
in Schools
Building Bulletin 87 is the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) Constructional Standard for Environmental Conditions and the Conservation of Fuel and Power.
The Approved Documents in support of Part F 1995 and Part L2 2002 both quote BB87 as a means of compliance with the Building Regulations.
This 2003 revision updates BB87 and brings it in line with the current Building Regulations and other legislation such as the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999. In a few respects, for schools the Constructional Standards refine the recommendations given in certain Approved Documents in support of the Building Regulations.
The standards and guidance given in the 1997 version of BB87 have been largely superseded by the requirements of Part L2 of the Building Regulations and hence, this 2003 revision of BB87 has been prepared. This document being the current Constructional Standard for schools, replaces the version of Building Bulletin 87 published in 1997. All references to that document, for the purposes of compliance with Building Regulations Part F 1995 and Part L2 2002 and in the DCSF Constructional Standards, are to be considered as references to this version of the Building Bulletin.
