SAP Assessments for Part L1A Compliance
SAP Assessments Part L1A – New Dwellings
New residential buildings must comply with Part L1A of the Building Regulations, which stipulates CO2 emissions calculations based on the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) 2009.
Part L1A 2010 states that compliance SAP assessments must be submitted to Building Control prior to the start of any works on site, and in addition that all SAP assessments must be undertaken by accredited Energy Assessors.
Stroma Technology's team of accredited Energy Assessors is well-equipped to deliver this service, having carried out thousands of SAP calculations for major housebuilders and contractors throughout the UK and Ireland.
In addition, we can offer advice on the various compliance options and have assisted in formulating the compliance strategy for challenging developments such as high-rise buildings and high sustainability projects.
SAP Assessments Part L1B – Existing Dwellings
Stroma Technology can also carry out the required energy calculations to demonstrate compliance with Part L1B, which applies to existing residential buildings.
