SAP Calculation Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are SAP Calculations?
SAP Calculations are a requirement of Part L of the Building Regulations (Build Standards in Scotland) for all new build or newly converted residential properties within the UK. They may also be required for highly glazed residential extensions.
Each SAP Calculation assesses how much energy a dwelling will consume over the course of a year for the provision of heating, hot water, lighting and ventilation using the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP).
A SAP Calculation is also used to produce an On Construction Energy Performance Certificate for a dwelling.
When should a SAP Calculation be completed?
Ideally, you should carry out SAP calculations before building work starts. This is so at design stage, you can be confident that the plans and specifications will achieve a pass. In the case of L1A SAP calculations, a second report will need to be produced once the building has finished.
