A government consultation proposes changes to how Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) assesses the energy performance of homes (closing date 27 January 2017).
The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy writes:
The SAP assessment is used for many purposes – including compliance with Building Regulations, and to produce Energy Performance Certificates. This consultation sets out twenty areas of the methodology which are under review and seeks views on proposed changes. Comments are welcome on any part of SAP.
In addition to the consultation document below, draft specifications for the new versions of SAP are available on the BRE website with cSAP available through the ISAP site.
