SAP Report Generation 

What is SAP?
SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) is a government defined process which involves calculating a rating for the energy cost of the built structure of a home, its heating system, internal lighting and if applicable any renewable energy technologies.

Part L1A of the Building Regulations requires that new dwellings must demonstrate that their environmental impact or Buildings CO2 Emissions Rate (BER) is less than the Target Emissions Rate (TER). 


Do I need one?
All domestic new build’s after April 2006 require a SAP calculation.

What is the process?

Stage 1 - Design Stage - Building Control will require a SAP rating before the project commences.
Stage 2 - As Built Stage - Once the project has been completed a final assessment is required to confirm compliance with Part L.
Stage 3 - Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) - This certificate demonstrates the energy performance of the building.

Part G of the Building Regulations changed on 6th April 2010 and all new homes and conversions are now required to meet water efficiency targets.

Building Control now require water efficiency calculations to show that no more than 125 litres of water per person, per day are used in all new and converted homes.

We can carry out the necessary calculations required by building control and charge £70.00 per dwelling for this service.
