What are SAP Calculations?

​

SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) Calculations are a method used to assess the energy efficiency and carbon emissions of residential buildings. SAP calculations provide an energy rating for new builds, conversions, and extensions in compliance with building regulations. The calculations consider various factors such as insulation, heating systems, ventilation, and renewable energy sources to determine the building's overall energy performance.

​

Why Do I Need SAP Calculations?

​

If you are involved in constructing or renovating residential properties, SAP Calculations are essential to demonstrate compliance with building regulations and achieve energy efficiency targets. They help you understand the energy performance of your building and identify opportunities for improvement, such as optimizing insulation, selecting efficient heating systems, and integrating renewable energy technologies.

​

When Can SAP Calculations Be Conducted?

​

Our team of experts can perform SAP Calculations at various stages of your project. Whether you require an initial assessment during the design phase or a final assessment upon completion, we can provide you with accurate and reliable calculations tailored to your specific project requirements.

​

Components of SAP Calculations

 

Our SAP Calculations services include the following key components:

1. Building Data Analysis: We analyze the building specifications, including floor areas, construction materials, heating systems, insulation, ventilation, and renewable energy technologies. This data forms the basis for the SAP calculations.

2. Energy Performance Assessment: Using industry-approved software, we input the building data and calculate the energy performance indicators, such as the Dwelling Emission Rate (DER) and Target Emission Rate (TER). These indicators determine compliance with building regulations and energy efficiency targets.

3. Recommendations for Compliance: Based on the SAP calculations, we provide recommendations for achieving compliance and improving the building's energy performance. These recommendations may include adjustments to insulation, heating systems, ventilation, and renewable energy solutions.

4. SAP Reports and Certificates: We generate comprehensive SAP reports and Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) that summarize the energy rating, compliance details, and recommendations. These documents are essential for building regulation compliance, energy efficiency certification, and potential marketing purposes.
