The brief
-
UK Building Compliance completed SAP Reports on two new build plots in Dorset
-
These were L1A Design Calculations, which include a Predicted EPC Rating
-
We recommend you commission your SAP calculations for new builds at design stage because if your building is struggling to meet requirements, our team can advise you on how to improve
-
Our STROMA Accredited Consultants work with all of our clients us to ensure that your new build project can meet all of the Part L Building Regulations
The process
-
Compliance was achieved via the following recommendations from our Assessors:
-
Low U-Values
-
Additionally, Low Air Permeability Targets (≤ 4)
The results
- SAP REPORT RESULTS
Plot 1 Target Emission Rate (TER)
Plot 2 Target Emission Rate (TER)
Plot 1 Target Fabric Energy Efficiency (TFEE)
Plot 2 Target Fabric Energy Efficiency (TFEE)
Plot 1 Dwelling Emission Rate (DER)
Plot 2 Dwelling Emission Rate (DER)
Plot 1 Dwelling Fabric Energy Efficiency (DFEE)
Plot 2 Dwelling Fabric Energy Efficiency (DFEE)
-
Compliant
-
A largely significant figure below the requirement between the DER/DFEE and TER/TFEE was achieved, therefore passing the minimum requirements
-
The predicted EPC scored an Energy Rating of B, meaning the building would be highly energy efficient
