SAP Calculations, SBEM & EPCs

All new buildings require SAP or SBEM calculations & Energy Performance Certificates (EPC’s) under Part L of the 2006 Building Regulations. It is a detailed measurement of the energy efficiency of the property.

We are qualified and insured to carry out these calculations on all new homes, conversions, extensions and commercial buildings. Most of our calculations are completed within 72 hours of receipt of plans.

Code for Sustainable Homes Assessors

The Code for Sustainable Homes provides an all-round measure of the sustainability of new homes, including carbon emissions, water use & materials.

It is now mandatory for all new homes to be rated under the Code. As fully accredited code assessors and members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors we will guide you through this step-change in sustainable building practice.

Air Tightness Testing

Part L1A of the 2006 Building Regulations requires all new homes to be tested for air leakage. This is carried out when a house is completed and is necessary for building control to provide the final Building Certificate for the house.

We are fully accredited Air Tightness engineers and our certificates are accepted by Building Control as evidence that the correct procedures have been followed. Building Control therefore does not have to be present at our tests.
