RICS UK The latest on the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) Webinar

The Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) is the methodology used by the government to assess and compare the energy and environmental performance of dwellings. Its purpose is to provide accurate and reliable assessments of dwellings that are needed to underpin energy and environmental policy initiatives.

The most recent version of SAP 10 (10.2) came into force with the updated Part L building regulations in June 2022, and incorporated various changes to the methodology, including updated:

• fuel prices
• CO2 emissions
• primary energy factors

For existing dwellings, a simplified version of SAP, called Reduced Data SAP (RdSAP), is used to assess their energy performance. An RdSAP assessment will use a set of assumptions about the dwelling based on conventions and requirements at the time it was constructed.

This webinar will provide a detailed overview of the latest changes to (SAP) and (RdSAP).

Speaking on the webinar is Jason Hewins, New Build Dwellings Manager and Damien Roberts, Existing Dwellings Manager from Elmhurst Energy.
