SAP calculations are an integral part of the design process and are required as part of your full plans application for Building Regulation approval, i.e. the initial ‘as-designed’ SAP is required before work starts on site.
The calculation takes into account the following factors which contribute to energy efficiency:
- Thermal insulation of the building fabric (walls, floor, roof and glazing)
- Thermal bridging
- Air permeability
- Mechanical ventilation
- Heating system efficiency, controls and water flow temperature
- Hot water system
- The fuel used to provide space and water heating
- Renewables
