SAP - Standard Assessment Procedure
We provide SAP calculations for new build properties against building regulations part L1A and SAP calculations for renovations/extensions against building regulations part L1B. Our assessors are fully qualified and accredited to issue the Predicted Energy Assessments (PEAs) and the Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) for all new build domestic properties.
Legislation
From April 2008 all new build domestic properties being marketed or sold need to have a PEA or EPC as part of the Home Information Pack (HIP). The PEA and EPC are legal documents and are required as part of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. The SAP calculations that are used for demonstrating building control compliance are used to produce both the PEA and EPC.
SAP is the Government's Standard Assessment Procedure for energy assessments of dwellings. The current version of SAP, SAP 2005, has been adopted by Government as part of the England and Wales national methodology for calculation of the energy performance of buildings. It is used to demonstrate compliance for dwellings with Part L of the Building Regulations 2000 (in England and Wales).
