BUILDING COMPLIANCE

SAP ASSESSMENTS AND REPORTS

SAP is the Government’s procedure for rating the energy efficiency of dwellings. It has been adopted as part of the UK national methodology for energy performance calculations and is the standard behind Energy Performance Certificates, now a huge part of the UK property industry.

SAP calculations are required for all new build projects, conversions and extensions where the glazed area is more than 25% of the floor area, in order to meet Building Regulations Part L compliance standards.

For domestic and commercial properties, the SAP calculations are undertaken at the beginning of the design process, during and at completion. This enables you to consistently monitor any changes during the build that impact on the energy rating of the project and adjust accordingly.

We identify and implement both planned and remedial measures for achieving CO2 emission rate targets. Our team are experienced and qualified in helping our clients achieve building control approval and if SAP compliance is not achieved from the original specification, we can make suggestions for altered or remedial measures that are cost-effective to pass the assessment.

A design-stage SAP assessment must be provided to building control before any construction can commence, so don’t delay.
