What are Sap Calculations?
SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) calculations are required for all new build and conversion projects in the UK. They evaluate the energy performance of a building and provide an SAP rating from 1-100 – the higher the number, the better the performance.
SAP calculations take into account various factors including insulation, heating system, ventilation, solar gains, renewables etc. to assess the energy efficiency of the property. They are carried out by qualified SAP assessors using approved software.
The calculations ultimately produce an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) which is required by law for all rental and sales properties. SAP calculations ensure buildings meet the minimum energy efficiency standards set out in UK building regulations.

There are several important reasons SAP calculations are required:
- To comply with UK building regulations – they set minimum standards for energy efficiency that new builds and conversions must meet. SAP calculations demonstrate this.
- To produce valid Energy Performance Certificates – EPCs are based on SAP calculations and are legally required for rentals and sales.
- To assess environmental impact – SAP measures energy use and carbon emissions which allows assessment of a building’s environmental footprint.
- To evaluate energy costs – the calculations estimate energy consumption so owners/tenants can evaluate potential bills.
- To promote energy efficiency – SAP identifies improvements to make buildings more efficient and reduce energy waste. Meeting good SAP ratings can increase property value.
Overall, SAP calculations are vital for regulating and encouraging energy efficiency in UK buildings. They ensure homes are environmentally sustainable.

Air tightness
Whole dwelling ventilation strategies are modelled.
Windows
Energy efficient glazing specifications are tested.
Heating system
Low carbon systems like heat pumps are favourable.
