SAP calculations are a vitally important part of building a domestic property, with building regulations demanding higher and higher standards for thermal performance, having a good SAP assessor rather than just any SAP assessor has become essential.

​

What are SAP calculations

​

SAP or Standard Assessment Procedure Calculations are the method of proving that a property complies with  part L of the building regulations for CO2 emissions and thermal performance. The building is assessed on heating, lighting and hot water and the building elements which affect them.

​

These calculations are first carried out at the planning stage with as designed calculations and a predicted EPC for marketing off plan.  When the building is nearing completion, the calculations are run again, including any changes which have been made and once the building has passed the EPC is then lodged.

​

To get a pass, the calculated building emissions must be lower than a notional building of the same type which has been calculated by the software. The fabric of the building, meaning the walls, roofs, floors etc is included in the efficiency calculations, but must also pass the fabric efficiency.

​
