Our SAP Assessment Services
We provide SAP assessment and energy compliance services for a range of residential construction projects.
SAP Calculations
SAP calculations assess the energy performance of residential properties using the government’s Standard Assessment Procedure.
The calculations consider insulation, heating systems, ventilation, glazing, thermal bridging and other building characteristics.
Our SAP calculations help developers and homeowners demonstrate compliance with applicable Building Regulations energy efficiency requirements.
Design-Stage SAP Assessments
We provide design-stage SAP assessments for residential properties before construction begins.
These assessments use proposed building specifications to calculate expected energy performance and identify potential compliance issues.
Completing SAP calculations during the design stage can help developers address energy efficiency requirements before construction work starts.
As-Built SAP Assessments
We provide as-built SAP assessments following the completion of residential construction projects.
These assessments use the final construction specifications and relevant test results to establish the completed dwelling’s energy performance.
As-built SAP calculations support Building Regulations compliance and the production of new-build Energy Performance Certificates.
Part L Compliance Assessments
We provide SAP assessments to support compliance with Part L of the Building Regulations in England.
Part L establishes requirements relating to the conservation of fuel and power in buildings.
Our assessments review the relevant energy performance calculations and identify areas where proposed specifications may require improvement.
Requirements vary across the UK, so the applicable regulations depend on the property’s location and the nature of the development.
SAP Energy Performance Certificates
We provide SAP-based Energy Performance Certificates for eligible new-build residential properties.
A new-build EPC provides an energy efficiency rating based on the completed dwelling’s assessed characteristics.
SAP EPCs are commonly required when newly constructed homes are completed and prepared for sale or letting.
SAP Assessment Consultancy
We provide advice on residential energy performance requirements and SAP assessment specifications.
This can include reviewing insulation levels, heating systems, glazing, ventilation and renewable energy technologies.
Our aim is to help clients understand the requirements of their projects and identify practical ways to achieve the necessary energy performance standards.
SAP Assessments for Different Residential Developments
Our SAP assessment services are suitable for a wide range of residential construction projects.
New-Build Houses
We provide SAP calculations for new-build houses, including detached, semi-detached and terraced properties.
Assessments can be completed during the design stage and updated following construction to reflect the finished building.
New-Build Flats and Apartments
We provide SAP assessments for apartment buildings and residential developments containing multiple dwellings.
Each dwelling may require its own assessment depending on the development and applicable regulatory requirements.
Residential Property Conversions
We assist with SAP assessments for eligible residential conversions, including projects involving the creation of new dwellings within existing buildings.
The assessment requirements depend on the nature of the conversion and the applicable Building Regulations.
Property Extensions and Alterations
We can advise on energy assessment requirements for residential extensions and alterations.
Full SAP calculations are not required for every extension, but certain projects may require energy performance calculations to demonstrate compliance.
Housing Developments
We provide SAP assessment services for residential developers constructing multiple properties.
Assessments can support design reviews, Building Regulations submissions and completion documentation across a development.
Self-Build Homes
We work with self-builders who require SAP calculations for new residential properties.
Assessments can help establish energy performance requirements during the design process and support compliance when construction is complete.
What Does a SAP Assessment Involve?
A SAP assessment evaluates the energy performance of a residential property using its construction specifications and building services information.
The assessment typically considers:
- Building dimensions and floor areas
- Wall, roof and floor insulation
- Window and door specifications
- Glazing performance
- Thermal bridging
- Air permeability
- Heating system efficiency
- Hot water systems
- Ventilation arrangements
- Lighting efficiency
- Renewable energy technologies
- Relevant Building Regulations requirements
The information is entered into approved SAP calculation software to determine the dwelling’s energy performance and assess compliance with applicable requirements.
How Does the SAP Assessment Process Work?
Our SAP assessment process begins with a review of the property and the relevant Building Regulations requirements.
1. Project Information Review
We review architectural drawings, building plans and construction specifications to establish the assessment requirements.
This includes information about insulation, glazing, heating, ventilation and other relevant building elements.
2. Design-Stage SAP Calculations
Where required, we complete design-stage SAP calculations using the proposed building specifications.
These calculations help establish whether the property is expected to meet the applicable energy performance requirements.
3. Compliance Review
We review the assessment results and identify any areas where the proposed building specifications may need adjustment.
Potential improvements may involve insulation, glazing, heating efficiency or other relevant measures.
4. As-Built Assessment
Following construction, we review the final specifications and relevant test results.
The as-built assessment reflects the completed property and supports the required compliance documentation.
5. SAP Reports and EPC Documentation
We prepare the relevant SAP assessment reports and, where applicable, arrange the production of the new-build Energy Performance Certificate.
The documentation can be provided for the relevant Building Regulations compliance process.
