The Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) is the government-approved methodology used for evaluating the energy performance of dwellings and demonstrating compliance in new build and conversion projects. An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement when properties are marketed for sale, let, or newly constructed, remaining valid for ten years and providing an A to G efficiency rating. EPCs are generated directly from SAP outputs, meaning SAP calculations are essential for producing EPCs in new dwellings and conversions. Properties constructed prior to 2007 are assessed using RdSAP, a reduced-data approach based on non-invasive inspection and standard assumptions. Our OCDEA specialists prepare both SAP calculations and EPCs and provide guidance throughout the compliance process.

Services
We provide SAP calculations and EPC services for new builds, conversions and extensions. Our assessments support compliance with Part L building regulations and are produced at both design stage and completion. We work closely with clients and architects to identify cost effective solutions, ensuring regulatory requirements are met efficiently throughout the project lifecycle overall process
Our service delivers SAP calculation support for EPCs relating to new build developments, conversions, and property extensions. With over a decade of experience as Domestic EPC assessors in North London and Hertfordshire, we have extensive knowledge of existing dwellings. We maintain awareness of ongoing MEES updates affecting rental properties. We help clients interpret EPC results and work towards achieving a C rating through suitable measures.
We deliver simplified overheating compliance calculations for residential dwellings to help achieve Part O standards. The assessment reviews window sizes and the proportion of openable areas to manage summer heat gains. Developments with significant south-facing glazing, including bi-fold doors, may necessitate thermal dynamic modelling. We can direct clients to qualified assessors.
Our service delivers Part G Water Efficiency Calculations for residential new builds, conversions and extensions with speed and precision. A compliant submission is required by Building Control prior to the approval of any new dwelling. Each calculation demonstrates that the home meets national water-use limits and supports regulatory compliance within SAP assessments. Early inclusion of this service reduces delays and supports efficient project progression.
