Heat networks: Building Assessment Report (BAR) guidance

They should be read alongside the HNZ and Building Assessment Reports (Scotland) Regulations 2023.
Footnotes
1. Property - A structure or space that is used for domestic or non-domestic classes with an addressable location. These are typically associated with a Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN). Building - In most instances a building is defined as property which has a UPRN. However, in some instances, properties are grouped under a Parent UPRN to identify the shared structure that they are a part of (such as units in a shopping mall). The properties which share a Parent UPRN are considered as a single building.
2. Heat Networks (Scotland) Act 2021
3. In future Scottish Ministers may specify by regulations others than a Scottish public authority that are required to complete a Building Assessment Report as specified by section 67 (b) of the Heat Networks (Scotland) Act 2021.
