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
All new build domestic properties being marketed or sold need to have a PEA or EPC. 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).
All SAP calculations are done on accredited software that demonstrates compliance with Building Regulations 2005 and includes -
- Authorised SAP 2005 ratings
- Part L1A 2006 compliance checker (England and Wales)
- Authorised quality assured outputs to demonstrate compliance to building control body
- Predicted Energy Assessments for selling properties off plan
- Energy Performance Certificate
