Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) &
Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)

Energy Performance Certificates are required by Building Control before the Completion Certificate can be issued. They are primarily produced to advise the occupier or potential purchaser how energy efficient the home is. To create an EPC, a trained and licensed Domestic Energy Assessor needs to carry out an SAP calculation. This is done by entering information about the building design, such as insulation details, window and floor areas and heating systems into proprietary software programs which calculate the ‘energy performance’ of the home.

The assessor lodges the rating with the relevant licensing body and issues the certificate. If you are using unusual methods of construction, materials or energy sources please inform us at the outset as they may affect the quote.
