In 2006 the government, introduced legislation requiring all new dwellings to comply with the SAP 2006 method of reducing carbon emissions. This was amended in 2009 and another is planned for 2013.

This has resulted in many Local Authorities either invalidating, rejecting or not even registering these projects until such time as the applicant / agent has submitted Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) calculations showing details of the Target Emission Rate (TER) versus the Dwelling Emission Rate (DER).

To be comparable for all properties, the SAP rating is adjusted to floor area, so that it is essentially independent of dwelling size. It takes into account the following range of factors, which contribute to energy consumption:

• Thermal insulation of the building fabric.
• Efficiency and control of the heating system.
• Ventilation characteristics of the dwelling
• Solar gain characteristics of the dwelling
• The fuel used for space and water heating

The new legislation also requires an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) on completion of your project
