What are SAP calculations and when are they required?

SAP calculations assess the predicted energy performance of a dwelling. They are commonly required for new-build homes, conversions and certain extensions to demonstrate Part L compliance.

What is needed for an on-construction EPC?

The final SAP or SBEM model must reflect the completed building, supported by confirmed construction specifications, test results and commissioning evidence.

What does an Energy Statement include?

An Energy Statement normally describes planning policy, the proposed energy strategy, demand-reduction measures, low-carbon systems, renewable energy and the resulting carbon improvement.

Remote delivery from project drawings

Most SAP work can be completed from scaled architectural information and a coordinated specification. We support projects throughout the UK without adding unnecessary site visits or regional handovers.

A service matched to the project

Support ranges from a single extension or dwelling to multi-unit developments, residential conversions and takeover assessments. The scope, information needed and fee are confirmed clearly before work begins.

Direct technical communication

Questions are dealt with directly by the assessor working on the calculation. Architects and contractors receive concise schedules of any missing evidence, modelling assumptions and recommended changes.

England

Commercial-to-residential conversion

A multi-unit conversion was modelled remotely from the architect's drawing package, with retained elements and dwelling specifications coordinated across the scheme.

The design team received one consistent schedule covering the full development.

Northern Ireland

New-build and extension support

Local projects were assessed using the applicable regional Building Regulations, with glazing and fabric queries resolved before construction information was finalised.

Target values were communicated early enough to protect the intended design.
