SAP Vs RDSAP, Which EPC do you need?

Since 6th April 2008 for England and Wales and 30th September 2008 for Northern Ireland, when a new dwelling is completed and is due to be signed off by Building Control (either as a newly constructed dwelling or as a conversion from a non-dwelling to a dwelling e.g. barn, chapel, mill, pub etc), it must have an On Construction SAP Calculation and an On Construction EPC.

If you have an existing property of which has an expired EPC, you will be asked to provide an up to date EPC in order to sell the property/rent the property out. This would require a Reduced Data SAP (RDSAP) and can only be produced by accredited Assessors.

If you are unsure which SAP assessment you require for your property, contact us today!

Are you looking at choosing your boiler for your project? Have you considered Flue Gas Heat Recovery?

Flue Gas Heat Recovery captures and reuses heat energy, that would be otherwise be lost through the chimney or flue.

If you choose a condensing boiler, you may have the benefits of a built in Flue Gas Heat Recovery system! Using condensed flue-gas liquid water to pre-heat the cold water being fed into the boiler.

Flue Gas Heat Recovery is known to improve the performance condensing boilers, and in turn its efficiency by up to 90%!

Contact us today to find out how Flue Gas Heat Recovery can earn you extra points on your projects SAP!

Part L 2021

We’re looking at an interim change to Part L standards next year and the following metrics will now be used to ensure homes are low energy, low carbon and it is assumed by association, low cost;

•Primary Energy in the form of the dwelling and target primary energy rates

•Carbon Emissions in the form of the dwelling and target emission rates

•Fabric Energy Efficiency in the form of the dwelling and target fabric energy efficiency rate

The following minimum standards will be required for thermal elements in Part L 2021;

Element Part L 2021 standard

External Walls 0.26 w/m2k
Party Walls 0.2 w/m2k
Roofs 0.16 w/m2k
Floors 0.18 w/m2k
Windows 1.6 w/m2k
Rooflights 2.2 w/m2k
Doors 1.6 w/m2k
Air Permeability 8 m3/m2/hr @ 50 Pa

On 19th January 2021 the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG) published its long awaited response to the Future Homes Standard consultation which closed in March 2020.

We’ve been digesting the information and will try to cover the main points over a number of posts.

To begin with, a look at the proposed timetable for the Building Reg’s changes:-

MVHR, What is it and how can it lower my energy usage?

Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery (MVHR) is a whole house ventilation system which both supplies and extracts air throughout a property, re-using up to 95% of the heat that would have otherwise have been lost.

With new builds now having a requirement to be air tight, this low energy ventilation solution is perfect for new dwellings to keep energy costs down.

Speak to one of our Energy Assessors today to find out how MVHR can improve your project's EPC!

Have you ever considered Waste Water Heat Recovery (WWHR) for your project? This simple, sustainable, cost effective system contributes to achieving Part L of Building Regulations, and is recognised by the governments Standard Assessment Procedure
(SAP) for Energy Rating of Dwellings.

Using a zero maintenance shower system, previously heated waste water is used to warm cold water before it reaches the boiler, therefore contributing to the heating system and saving energy in the process!

Contact us today to discuss how WWHR can improve your projects EPC rating!

What is an SBEM and when will I be required to provide one?

A Simplified Building Energy Model (SBEM) is a similar assessment to the SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) and is required to meet Part L2 of Building Regulations.

This complex assessment is used to calculate the energy efficiency of a non-domestic property. It calculates the monthly energy use and carbon emissions of a building based on its size, orientation, geometry, construction and systems. Complicated stuff!

Luckily, our assessors have plenty of experience in SBEM assessments and work together with our clients to make the process go as smoothly as possible!

Contact us today to start getting you SBEM sorted!

SAP Calculations and Extensions.

- Will I be required to provide a SAP for my extension project?

Not all extension projects will require a SAP calculation for sign off with building control. There has been a considerable increase in the number of extension projects for houses to bring in fresh, light and airy spaces. In most cases these will exceed the 25% allowance of glazing and, as a result, will be required to provide a SAP calculation upon completion for sign off.

- Why do you need a SAP calculation to extend your property?

There is a stated guideline for an extension that the glass area must not exceed 25% of the overall floor area. Walls and Roofs obtain heat better than glazing and so will ensure the extension will maintains energy efficiency to abide Part L1b of Building Regulations.

- When should I get the SAP completed?

As early as possible, this will confirm that the design specifications are appropriate and will pass Building Regulations.

- Who can complete the SAP for my extension project?
