Domestic Energy Assessments for New and Existing
Dwellings
New Dwellings
As part of the requirements of Approved
Document L1A (Conservation of Fuel and Power - New Dwellings) a SAP
rating is needed.
SAP stands for Standard Assessment Procedure,
also known as Energy Ratings. Houses are rated from 0 - 100, 0
being very inefficient and 100 being highly efficient.
SAP ratings are the Government's standard
methodology for home energy rating and the software uses
SEDBUK (Seasonal Efficiency of Domestic Boilers in the UK) figures
to calculate the energy needed for heating and hot water
systems.
Existing Dwellings
If you are buying, selling or renting
a home you need an Energy Performance Certificate.
The certificate provides 'A' to 'G'
ratings for the dwelling, with 'A' being the most energy efficient
and 'G' being the least.
Accredited energy assessors produce
EPCs alongside an associated report which suggests improvements to
make a building more energy efficient.
