SAP Calculations – New Builds
We are happy to carry out SAP Calculations for New Builds all over the UK, regardless of the size or complexity as there is nothing out of our remit.What is a SAP Calculation?
SAP Calculations (Standard Assessment Procedures) are a building regulation requirement and the UK government’s chosen methodology for assessing the energy performance of all new build dwellings, conversions and extensions.
SAP rating is a way of comparing the energy efficiency of different homes and is scored on a rating scale between 1 and 100 (100 representing a dwelling with a zero-energy cost and 0 with a high energy cost). Typically, the higher the SAP rating, the lower the fuel cost and associated carbon dioxide emissions (CO2). From the SAP calculations, we are able to work out an energy cost for a given property. This is formed by assessing the construction of the home, its heating system, internal lighting and any renewable technologies installed
Once a SAP has been successfully completed on a dwelling an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is generated. The energy performance certificate is an additional document required for building control sign off and is a legal requirement when selling or renting out a home.
