A Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) calculation is the required method by the UK government for assessing and comparing the energy and environmental performance of new homes. It is a crucial step to ensure that a new dwelling complies with the energy efficiency requirements of the national building regulations.
SAP calculations result in an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for the new build. This certificate is legally required before a new home can be marketed, sold, or rented. The process involves an 'As Designed' stage and an 'As Built' stage to ensure the final construction matches the energy-efficient design.
- Newly Constructed Dwellings: All new homes require a SAP calculation and a resulting EPC.
- Conversions: Properties converted into a dwelling (e.g., a barn conversion) need a SAP EPC.
- Extensions with Large Glazing: Extensions where the glazed area is over 25% of the floor area often require SAP calculations.
