About SAP Calculations These calculations were introduced as a legal requirement by the government in an attempt to determine the energy and environmental performance of a property. The Standard Assessment Procedure takes a variety of factors into consideration, including:
Building Fabric Thermal Insulation Heating System Control and Efficiency Construction Materials Ventilation Equipment Performance Renewable Energy Technology Fuel Used for Heating/Lighting/Ventilation Solar Gains Space Cooling Energy
As well as being used on new builds, these are also required under Part L1b for barn conversions, conversions of single dwellings to flats, extensions with over 25% flooring to glazing ratio, and commercial to domestic conversions.
Information Required When providing an accurate calculation, there are a few details which are needed by an assessor. As there are no site visits made, it is crucial that all details provided are exact. Some useful information to provide includes:
Address and postcode of a site Plans for each storey (1:100 scale) Sectional drawings Site plan (including orientation) Elevations drawings
To add to this, a written specification should accompany this including details of:
Principal heating/hot water system (make, model, details of heating emitters, cylinder size, system controls) Ventilation systems Internal/external lighting Secondary heating systems Construction of floors (type and thickness of insulation, any building products used) Doors and windows (size, frame type, the thickness of glazing, low emissivity, and glazing type) Construction of external walls (type and thickness of installation and materials used) Renewable technologies (ground source heat pumps, photovoltaics, solar water heating etc) Construction of roofing (building products used and thickness/type of insulation)
What is U-Value? This is the measurement of how long it takes a material to lose heat. With a low U-Value, you can rest assured that your house is as efficient as it can be. With effective workmanship and strong installation standards, you can ensure that the thermal transmittance is at the desired levels.
The U-Value is measured in W/mēK (watts per square metre per degree Kelvin) and is numerically equal to degrees Celsius. A few factors need to be considered when attempting to achieve an accurate measurement. These include weather conditions, monitoring duration, the magnitude of temperature difference, and good thermopiles adhesion.
