Why are SAP Calculations Important? Sometimes referred to as the Standard Assessment Procedure, these offer a crucial insight into the energy usage of a new development. Introduced by the Government, they are a legal requirement for all new-build domestic properties in the UK. Compliance with the Part L Building Regulations must be shown, demonstrated by a pass on calculations produced.
It is usually recommended that any calculations are determined at the start of a construction process. This enables changes to be made to a design to incorporate requirements by architects, surveyors, builders and suppliers to ensure energy efficiency. It isn’t uncommon for changes to designs to be made in order to achieve the SAP pass score necessary.
Whilst carried out regularly on new builds, SAP calculations are also required under Part L1b for:
Conversions from commercial to domestic Barn conversions Extensions with more than 25% glazing to flooring Conversion of single dwelling into flats
About EPCs Also known as an Energy Performance Certificate, an EPC is usually produced using the SAP calculations created. As a result, when completing these there will need to be confirmation that design stage drawings and notes have been followed during construction.
When you are deciding to rent or purchase a property, an EPC provides you with information on the overall energy performance. These are valid for 10 years and help to provide you with an insight into potential energy costs. EPCs cover the current estimation as well as a potential. Ratings provided are coded by colour (green to red) and a letter (A-G), defining the efficiency. It is thought that most homes will be around Grade D.
Further details included in these certificates include fuel costs, carbon dioxide emissions, who to contact for any complaints, as well as the details of the assessor. Our team of assessors are accredited with the NHER (National Home Energy Rating), giving you confidence in all services provided.
