Our Services
SAP Calculations
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.
Briary Energy specialise in SAP calculations for:
Air Permeability Testing
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.
BREEAM-Assessments
BREEAM sets the standard when it comes to the best practice in sustainable building designs. The standard is the assessment method and environmental rating for all commercial and public buildings. Our team is highly experienced when it comes to your BREEAM assessment and we are fully understanding of the BREEAM ratings that you need to meet as well.
Code for Sustainable Homes
Our team is highly experienced when it comes to sustainable home assessments and we can help you to manage almost anything you need with ease and efficiency. Our code for sustainable homes consultants have all the experience you need to get the credits you require and we can do this regardless of what level you are trying to reach.
Energy Statements - 25a Regs
A lot of local authorities will ask you to have an energy statement and this will be given to you during your planning application. An energy statement will show you how to meet all the required sustainability policies. The energy statement will demonstrate to you your local objective like Co2 emissions, energy costs and lighting efficiency.
The Home Quality Mark
The Home Quality Mark is a brand new scheme from BRE. At the moment it has been launched in pilot mode and HQM is also very convenient for you to use. It uses a very simple 5 star rating to provide you with impartial information from experts when it comes to home design. HQM can also show you your home’s building structure as it becomes more and more air tight. Respiratory conditions are on the rise and as the population gets older, it will help to show you how your footprint is helping to combat the overheating and ever changing climate.
Part F Testing
It is now more important than ever for you to test your ventilation if you have a new building and Part F of the building regulations code states this quite clearly. We are more than qualified to carry out this testing for you and we can even do it at the same time we do your air permeability testing and your insulation testing as well.
SBEM Calculations
Simplified Building Energy Model (SBEM) Calculations are used to demonstrate the energy performance of Commercial (non-domestic) properties.
Our experienced in-house Energy Assessor will carry out the calculations to meet the Part L2 requirements for your build. These tests calculate the energy needed to heat, light and ventilate the building over a year-long period.
Sound Insulation Testing
We have a comprehensive building regulations insulation assessment service and we can meet your requirements regardless of what they are. A lot of the schemes that we work on contain some element of sound insulation testing.
Sustainability Statements
A sustainability statement is a very popular requirement across the UK and we pride ourselves on providing bespoke solutions as well so you can always have a great planning application. So what can a sustainability policy statement do for you?
Water Efficiency Calculations
We can provide you with quick and easy reporting that will help to get you through. It doesn’t matter whether you need someone who can provide you with your water efficiency calculations or whether you need someone who can handle your Part G calculations for you, because we can do it all and more and at a price you know you can afford.
