Utilise Standard Assessment Procedure Calculations to ensure an efficient home
SAP stands for Standard Assessment Procedure. It’s like a big energy test for homes! The government uses it to figure out how energy-efficient a house is. The government sets the standards and rules for how the assessments should be carried out. They also regulate who can conduct these assessments. To become a certified SAP assessor, you need to meet specific qualifications and training requirements set by the government.
Imagine your home is taking a quiz. SAP asks questions about things like:
After the quiz, your home gets a report card called an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate). This shows how well your home does at saving energy. The better the score, the less money you’ll probably spend on heating and cooling.
So, if you’re buying or selling a house, or if you’re making big changes to your home, you’ll need an SAP.
