The brief
- UK Building Compliance carried out SAP calculations, Water Efficiency calculations and a TM59 Dynamic Thermal Modelling assessment on a bungalow in Coventry to meet compliance with the 2021 building regulations.
The results
- AVERAGE SAP RESULTS
Average Target Emission Rate (TER)
(TPER)
Average Target Fabric Energy Efficiency (TFEE)
Average Dwelling Emission Rate (DER)
(DPER)
Average Dwelling Fabric Energy Efficiency (DFEE)
Using an efficient air source heat pump to provide heating and hot water meant that this dwelling meets compliance without the need for solar PV.
The TM59 report suggested a range of measures to mitigate the overheating risk, including a solar shading product and external overhangs to provide external shading and limit solar gains.
