SAP Calculation & Air Testing — Surrey

The brief

The process

  • The initial Air Tests carried out were problematic - we carried out some diagnostics with the customer and located the root of the problem in an air leakage point which was sealed up
  •  The initial Ventilation Tests were also troublesome - more diagnostics were conducted and we discovered the length of the flexy ducting was too long and this was causing unwanted trapped air
  •  We shortened all the flexy ducting to enable all the vents to extract the correct amount of air in litres per second

The results

  • SAP RESULTS

Target Emission Rate (TER)

Target Fabric Energy Efficiency (TFEE)

Dwelling Fabric Energy Efficiency (DFEE)

  • Compliant

  • We achieved a Water Efficiency Rate of 117.22 Litres per person per day, the Target being ≤ 125L

  • All of the Ventilation tests passed after diagnostics and the identifying and rectifying of some problems, which resulted in efficient ducting and strong ventilation systems

  • Our Complete Compliance Package offers excellent value
