The Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) is designed to help calculate how much energy your home is going to use, as well as the overall level of Co2 emissions it will produce.

You are required to have a qualified assessor carry out the SAP calculations to ensure you meet regulations for your build. Additionally, these calculations are necessary to produce an EPC certificate for a dwelling that is completed.

Air permeability testing is a requirement that you need to meet when you have a new building. It is a part of the building regulations and it is a very important issue. If you have an air leakage in your home then this will affect the heating levels and it also means that you can’t have the best energy rating either. Air permeability is also known as being air pressure, air tightness and even air leakage and it measures the uncontrolled flow of air as it travels through the cracks and gaps in the building. You will need to have an air permeability test to make sure that your home meets all of the required regulations.
