Are you extending your home and need to comply with Part L Building Regulations? Assessment Hive offer fast and affordable home SAP calculations for extensions across the UK, ensuring your project meets energy performance standards.
What Are SAP Calculations for Extensions?
SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) calculations measure the energy efficiency of residential properties. For extensions with glazing over 25% of the new floor area, Building Control often requires SAP calculations to ensure the project meets energy standards. Failing to provide this can delay your build and result in non-compliance.
How Is Compliance with Part L Demonstrated?
You can demonstrate compliance with Part L using several methods; however, the most common SAP calculations for extensions are as follows:
- Area-Weighted U-Value Calculation: Balancing overall thermal performance if some areas don’t meet individual U-value targets.
- Full SAP Calculation: This is typically required for large-glazed extensions and the go-to if you cannot demonstrate compliance under the Area Weighted U Value Calculation. This method offers more flexibility.
An experienced SAP assessor will guide you on the best approach based on your project’s specifications.
