Get Expert SAP Calculations for Your Conversion Project
If you’re converting an existing building into a residential property, ensuring compliance with Part L of the Building Regulations is essential. Our expert SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) Calculations for property conversions provide accurate energy performance assessments, helping you meet legal requirements and improve its energy efficiency.
Why Do You Need SAP Calculations for Conversions?
When converting a property from one use type to another, SAP calculations determine the energy performance and carbon emissions of the new units. Local authorities and Building Control require these calculations to confirm that your project meets energy efficiency standards before approving your conversion.
How Is Compliance with Part L Demonstrated?
You can demonstrate compliance with Part L using several methods; however, the most common are as follows:
- SAP Calculations (Section 11.7 Compliance): This method can be used to demonstrate compliance if all areas meet the minimum standards.
- SAP Calculations (Section 11.8 Compliance): This is typically required for balancing overall thermal performance if some areas don’t meet individual U-value targets.
An experienced SAP assessor will guide you on the best approach based on your project’s specifications and help you achieve the best possible EPC rating. At Assessment Hive we can provide property SAP energy performance certificates for your home or business, wherever you live in the UK.
