Energy Ratings - Dwellings

What included in a SAP 2005 Energy Rating Report

Our Energy Rating Report generally provide the followings information:-

Energy Efficiency Rating (the SAP Rating)

The Energy Efficiency Rating is a measure of the overall efficiency of a dwelling, The higher the rating the more energy efficient the dwelling is and the lower the fuels bill should be.

It is based on a scale of 1 to 100, with corresponding G to A banding, similar to those found on white goods. ( This replaces the SAP 2002 scale of 1 to 120. )

Environmental Impact Rating (based on Co2 emissions)

The Environmental Impact Rating is a measure of the dwellings impact on the environment. The higher the rating the least impact it has on the environment.

It is also based on a scale of 1 to 100, with corresponding G to A banding, similar to those found on white goods.

Building Regulation Compliance -Design Stage

• Criteria 2 - A check on a number of design limits.

• Criteria 3 - Calculation to check for excessive over heating from solar gains in summer.

• Produces the Building Regulaion Checklist populated with data from the Energy Rating Calculations for use by the Designer, Building Control and the Contractor.

• Provides u Value Calculations for the external elements.

• If the property is to be sold prior to completion, a Predicted Energy Assessment (PEA) can be provided.

Building Regulation Compliance -Completion Stage

• Criteria 5 - Issue Formal Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for the completed property.

• This will be issued upon completion of the construction works and upon confirmation of Pressure Test Result and any other alterations to the design.
