Why are SAP Calculations Needed? There are TWO reasons why a SAP Calculation needs to be completed. One is legal and the other is moral.
From a legal point of view, SAP Calculations MUST be completed in order for the requirements of building regulations to be met. Aiming to ensure that all dwellings are as environmentally friendly as possible. The government has a target that all new homes that are built after 2016 should be net-zero carbon. SAP Calculations are also needed to satisfy planning conditions and must conform to the Code for Sustainable Homes.
A Moral requirement is to ensure that not only is any new or modified dwelling is environmentally friendly but, developers make sure that the buyer will not find themselves with massive energy bills to pay. So we are sure you can understand why for these reasons, even without the legal obligation it is vital for SAP Calculations to be done.
SAP Calculations can also be known as: Domestic Carbon Emission Calc, TER DER Calculation, SAP Assessment, TER DER Calc, SAP Calc, Standard Assessment Procedure, Domestic Carbon Emission Calculation or SAP Ratings.
Calculations During Draft Designs
Once the drawings have been provided, the accredited energy assessor uses them to prepare summary information for the building. These calculations include the total floor area of the dwelling, the floor area of the lounge or living room, the areas of the heat loss floors, heat loss in the walls and roofs, the dimensions of external windows and doors and storey heights, etc.
Then the SAP assessor calculates the performance of the thermal elements, these are expressed as ‘U’ values (the rate at which heat passes through the fabric of the building) the higher the ‘U’ value the more the rate of heat is lost. SAP calculations are then produced after the assessor inputs all this data into the approved software. The data that is entered relates to:
