6 Duty to install heat cost allocators, thermostatic radiator valves and hot water meters
(1) Where— (a) there is more than one final customer in a building supplied by a district heat network or communal heating, (b) the heat supplier supplies both heating and hot water to that building, and (c) the heat supplier has determined that it is not cost effective or technically feasible to install meters in accordance with regulation 4(4), the heat supplier must comply with paragraph (2). (2) A heat supplier must ensure that the following are installed— (a) heat cost allocators and thermostatic radiator valves at each room heating radiator in order to determine and enable the control of the consumption of heating by each final customer, and (b) a hot water meter. (2A) A heat supplier must comply with paragraph (2) before 1st September 2022 in respect of a building which first falls within the open class before that date where— (a) the heat supplier determines that it is cost effective to install heat cost allocators, thermostatic radiator valves and hot water meters in the building; and (b) it is technically possible to do so. (2B) A determination for the purpose of paragraph (2A)(a) is to be made— (a) before 27th November 2021, where the building first falls within the open class before that date; or (b) otherwise, before 1st September 2022. (2C) Where a heat supplier determines that it is cost effective to install heat cost allocators, thermostatic radiator valves and hot water meters in a building which first falls within the open class on or after 1st September 2022 and it is technically possible to do so, the heat supplier must comply with paragraph(2) when the building first falls within the open class. (3) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (4) A determination as to whether it is cost effective to install heat cost allocators, thermostatic radiator valves and hot water meters in a building must be made on the basis of an analysis carried out in accordance with Schedule 1. (5) A heat supplier who determines that it is not cost effective to install heat cost allocators, thermostatic radiator valves and hot water meters in a building— (a) may employ alternative methods for determining charges for the supply of heating and hot water including using meters installed in accordance with regulation 4(1); and (b) within four years of making a determination as to cost effectiveness— (i) must make a further determination as to cost effectiveness; and (ii) if the heat supplier then determines that it is cost effective to install heat cost allocators, thermostatic radiator valves and hot water meters in the building, must comply with paragraph (2) within that four year period. (5A) Paragraph (5) does not apply where meters to which regulation 4(3) or (4) applies or heat cost allocators, thermostatic radiator valves and hot water meters to which paragraph(2) applies have been installed in the building. (6) Where ... a heat cost allocator is installed, the heat supplier must ensure that it accurately measures, memorises and displays the consumption of heat by a room heating radiator.

How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
