Many homeowners and businesses consider solar panels for their potential to reduce electricity bills, as through generating some of your own power, you can buy less electricity from the grid and gain greater control over long-term energy costs.

What most people don't realise is that the environmental impact of solar energy goes much further than financial savings

What are PSI values and why do they matter for your SAP calculation?

Thermal bridges are the points where heat escapes most easily through a building, typically where walls meet floors, roofs, windows and doors. In a SAP calculation, these junctions are accounted for using PSI values (pronounced "sigh").

If you don't provide calculated PSI values, the SAP assessment falls back on government-set default figures. Those defaults are deliberately conservative, which can make it harder to pass Part L, particularly on projects where the fabric performance is already being pushed.

Getting PSI values calculated for your key junctions can improve your SAP score, reduce the need for expensive compensatory measures elsewhere, and give building control a more accurate picture of how the building actually performs.

We provide PSI value calculations as part of a wider SAP service or as a standalone commission.

Selling or letting a property this Autumn?

You'll need a valid EPC before it can be marketed. If yours has expired, or the property has changed since the last assessment, now is the time to get it sorted before you're waiting on a certificate to hold up a sale or tenancy.

We provide domestic EPC assessments with fast turnaround and competitive rates, covering Sussex, Surrey and Kent. Free, no-obligation quotes available.

The heating season is just around the corner. If you're a landlord and your property's EPC rating is low, your tenants are likely to notice it most over the next few months, with higher bills and it being harder to keep warm. Getting an assessment done now gives you time to understand what improvements could make a difference before winter sets in.

Building something commercial? Offices, retail units, warehouses and mixed-use developments all need SBEM calculations to demonstrate compliance with Building Regulations Part L before work starts and again at completion.

SBEM is the commercial equivalent of SAP, and like SAP, the earlier you bring in an assessor, the better. Leaving it late can mean rushed specifications, last-minute design changes, and delays to your planning or building control approval.

At Falcon Energy, we provide SBEM calculations for commercial projects of all sizes across the South East. Free, no-obligation quotes available.

What is sound insulation testing and when do you need it?

If you're converting a house into flats, building terraced or semi-detached homes, or completing any development where there are separating walls or floors between dwellings, you'll almost certainly need sound insulation testing under Building Regulations Part E.

The test measures airborne sound (voices, music, TV) and impact sound (footsteps) through the separating elements. Results need to hit specific performance targets before building control will sign off the project.

Failures are usually down to gaps in the construction, unsealed penetrations, poorly fitted resilient layers, or workmanship issues at junctions. Like air tightness, a pre-check before the test can save a lot of time and stress on the day.

Falcon Energy carries out sound insulation testing across Sussex, Surrey and Kent.

August is one of the busiest months for new build completions.

If you've got plots reaching practical completion and still need air tightness testing, EPCs or sound insulation testing to get signed off, don't let certification be the thing that holds you up.

Falcon Energy offers flexible scheduling and fast certificate turnaround. Get in touch early and we'll work around your programme. 📞 01403 253439
