Local Authorities are becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of SAP modelling for extensions and conversions to existing dwellings.
SAP modelling involves comparing a notional dwelling built to the minimum standards set out in the Building Regulations with an actual dwelling built to your specification. This is a particularly useful option if your extension has a high proportion of glazing and would fail the normal test of area weighted U-values.
We compare the Dwelling Emission rates (of CO2) for the two options to show compliance. This method also demonstrates the benefit of upgrading existing components whilst undertaking construction work in your home.
We have extensive knowledge of domestic construction and of the specific requirements within the SAP2005 documents to ensure the correct data is used to complete this type of modelling which ensures the assessed dwelling emission rates are accurate.
