An Independent SAP rating service

All new dwellings in England and Wales need a report at design stage (so that the builder knows what thermal elements to use) and another updated report prior to completion, on the energy efficiency of the home. This all started with Prime Minister John Major at the Kyoto Conference on 1992. This report is produced using SAP 2005 software which give an energy performance figure out of 100 and a carbon rating too. The best insulated and energy efficient home will have a zero or very low rating. ALL NEW DWELLINGS marketed for sale or for rent on or after 6th April 2008 will also need an energy efficiency report and an ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATE (EPC)

We use Government accredited software to run these reports provided by Elmhurst Energy who are based in Lutterworth. It is the most widely adopted SAP system by Building Control throughout UK hence there is benefit to you of submitting compatible information when seeking compliance.

The EPC certificates and reports may be presented to Building Control who would normally accept the findings. You will definitely need this report if you are building the home for selling on, or for renting. ON SALE OF THE NEW DWELLING, THE CONVEYANCER WILL NEED THE EPC TOO.

From receipt of drawing (including construction of heating specifications), we will;

• Take full quantities from plans, calculate u-values and evaluate the heating system.
• Process this information to produce a Predictive Energy Assessment (PEA) at design stage and a Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) at the as-built stage.
• Offer professional advice and guidance in altering the specification to gain compliance.
• Provide a Display Certification, mandatory that all new build properties must display their EPC rating prior to sale or renting.
• Where necessary produce the EPC for your conveyancer.
