SAP Calculations for Building Control: Achieve Part L Compliance and Maximise Energy Efficiency
​​​​What Is a SAP Calculation and Why Is It Important for New Builds?​
A SAP calculation will evaluate a building's energy efficiency based on its construction, heating, and hot water systems. It measures factors such as the building's U-values (which assess the thermal performance of walls, roofs, and floors), the efficiency of heating systems, and the carbon dioxide emissions associated with energy consumption. For new buildings, achieving a high SAP rating is essential for meeting Building Regulations Part L compliance, as this directly affects the building's energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
Building Control require a SAP calculation before construction begins and after it is completed. These two stages are critical:
​
-
Design stage: The SAP calculation is needed to predict the energy performance of the new building before construction starts.
-
As-built stage: Once construction is complete, a second SAP calculation ensures that the building's energy efficiency matches the predicted performance.
​
By using our SAP calculations for new builds service, you are not only ensuring that your building meets Building Regulations, but you are also creating a more energy-efficient and cost-effective structure for future occupants.
​
Ensure Building Regulations Part L Compliance with a SAP Calculation
Ensure Part L compliance with SAP calculations, which assess energy efficiency for new buildings. A SAP calculation for Building Regulations is essential for approval with Building Control and will prevent costly delays, ensuring your project meets UK regulations. Our service helps homeowners, developers, and architects achieve regulatory compliance while optimising energy performance.
​
Improve Your Building's Energy Efficiency and Save Money
A high SAP rating enhances energy efficiency, reducing utility costs and attracting buyers or tenants. Early SAP calculations enable design adjustments, optimising thermal performance, heating efficiency, and energy consumption. Our detailed U-value feedback ensures Part L compliance, long-term energy savings, and improved building efficiency.​
​
​
Stay Ahead of Building Control Requirements
SAP Calculation Building Regulations Part L compliance is crucial for new builds. Without an accurate SAP calculation Building Control won't issue a completion certificate, causing delays and added costs. Our SAP Calculation assessors ensure full compliance, providing guidance to improve energy performance and ensuring a smooth approval process from the start.
