Welcome
Standard Assessment Procedures (SAPs) are used to
demonstrate compliance with L1 of the Building Regulations and
are a mandatory requirement for any new dwelling being
constructed. A SAP assessment covers 5 criterions namely
carbon dioxide emissions, U values, services, lighting and
overheating.
These assessments are carried out in two stages. Firstly, a new dwelling has a Target Emission Rating
(TER) calculated based on the dwelling's size, shape, and form. Secondly, the Dwelling Emissions Rating
(DER) is calculated and this is based on all the actual design specifics. In order to pass the Building
Regulations, the DER must be no greater than the TER.
Only authorised SAP assessors are permitted to produce SAP energy certificates.
As National Home Energy Rating (NHER) Approved Plan Assessors, we are able to produce the
calculation promptly and at a realistic price. Energy Access will undertake the calculations from your
drawings and specifications and liaise with you to enable the building to comply without compromising the
design.
Our assessors are very experienced with a technical construction background. Therefore any suggestions
we offer to make a design work, will be achievable and practical to do. We are FAERO approved
competent persons for Energy Assessments and Faero Ltd is designated in the Regulations as the
Competent Person scheme for CO2 emission rate calculations.
