SAP Calculations
For domestic energy efficient home design including houses, flats, extensions and home improvement. Energy Ready works with home owners, architects, developers, construction managers and landlords to support the building design in Part L of the UK Building Regulations. We use the design plans to construct the proposed building and run energy efficiency scenarios through our government approved SAP Calculation software. Looking at factors such as thermal transmittance, air permeability, heating and lighting efficiencies, to name a few, we will work with our clients until they receive the SAP pass they need and support them in finding energy solutions from our extensive experience in the energy efficiency industry. SAP Calculations start from as little as £65 depending on the size of the project.
Commercial EPCs
As of April 1st 2023 every commercial building in the UK must have a valid EPC above an E rating in order to lease out the premises. Energy Ready will conduct a preliminary site visit, gathering all the information needed to create a model of the building. Using the latest government approved software (iSBEM), we test the building against efficiency factors such as amount of CO2 generated and the amount of energy used in a typical year. We assess the thermal transmittance of the walls, floor, roofs, glazing and doors to calculate energy loss throughout the building. The energy efficiency of the lighting, space heating and water heating are also calculated and applied to the model so we have a full understanding of the buildings energy useage. All of these factors are used to create the EPC in line with Part L of the current UK Building Regulations to understand the efficiency of the building and in turn produce a rating and a certificate (EPC). Commercial EPCs start from as little as £95 depending on the size of the project.

Domestic EPCs
In the UK, a homeowner needs a Domestic Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) when constructing, selling, or renting out their property, in line with the latest Building Regulations Part L. The EPC, which must be issued by a qualified assessor, provides an energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). Part L regulations, updated to improve energy efficiency standards, mandate this requirement to ensure that prospective buyers or tenants have clear information about the energy performance of a home. Additionally, any significant changes or improvements to the property’s energy system may also necessitate an updated EPC. Our fully trained assessors are ready to go and able to answer any further questions you may have. Prices start from as little as £65 for the full lodged EPC! Send over the details of your property today and we'll give you a quick quote and get working on it straight away.
SBEM Calculations & BRUKL Reports
At the design stage of a commercial building project building control may ask for an SBEM Calculation and a BRUKL Report. The BRUKL Report stands for Building Regulations UK Part L Report (BRUKL) and is a design stage assessment of the building to demonstrate that the buildings CO2 emissions rate (BER) is less than the target CO2 emissions rate (TER) and that the primary energy rate (BPER) is less than the target primary energy rate (TPER). These numbers are understood alongside the Building Regulation Part L requirement for the fabric u-values of the windows, doors, walls, floor, roof etc. Once these targets are all met the building receives a pass and construction of the design under part L of the building regulations for energy efficiency is approved. SBEM Calculations start from £195.
U-Value Calculations
Energy Ready also provides u-value calculations for design or as built stage, simply provide us with the drawings or descriptions of the build ups you would like for your wall, roof or floor and Energy Ready will calculate the thermal transmittance measured in W/m2K (Watts per metre squared Kelvin). If the design doesn’t meet your customers goals we are able to help suggest new layers or try different materials to get to your targets. We will always get to target and we provide our U-values from as little as £45 per calculation.
Energy Efficiency Consultancy
Even if there’s no mandatory reason to improve the efficiency of the building we have many clients who are simply trying to make their businesses or homes run more efficiently, reducing overheads, attaining CO2 reduction targets, and generally making the world a better place to live. We support building owners in finding the latest technologies, and adapting their buildings with new ideas and energy efficient solutions.

It's a Simple Process to Get an EPC Certificate
1. We gather all the data
For SAP and SBEM this can all be done via email by sending us your design plans. For an as built EPC simply arrange access to the property for one of our fully qualified energy assessors. They will measure up and take photos of the building, gathering all the information needed to give you the most accurate energy efficiency rating.
2. We assess all the data
The data is input into our official government developed software that analyses the building against thousands of efficiency factors and building scenarios.
Free 15 minute energy consultation with every assessment
​
We issue a recommendation report with every EPC and BRUKL report. We want this to benefit your company as best as possible so grab a coffee and let’s have a 15 minute talk through the report and the recommendations. This also gives a great chance for you to ask any further questions.
3. We issue your certificate
For SAP calculations we will issue a predictive energy certificate (PEA) suitable for building control and following 'As built' sign off we will issue the full EPC.
For existing building EPCs we will then issue you a draft certificate for you to review and then lodge the EPC on the central government database for you with no extra or hidden fees!
