We help people across the UK understand and meet the rules for SAP calculations, which measure how energy-friendly a home is. These are needed for all new houses and big renovations, and they check everything from insulation and heating to windows and lighting. We make sure your plans match the
We know SAP Calculations and Carbon Emissions Reports can sound confusing, but they help us make sure homes in the UK use less energy and cost less to run. By looking at things like insulation, heating, and how a house is built, we can tell how much carbon it might
We carry out airtightness testing to find where air leaks through gaps or cracks in a building, so those spots can be sealed before they waste heat and money. It’s like shutting a window you didn’t know was open. By spotting the sneaky places where warm air escapes or draughts
Air tightness plays a pivotal role in modular construction, enhancing energy efficiency, comfort, and overall building quality. By minimising air leakage, buildings can achieve significant energy savings, which allows for less intensive insulation materials and contributes to environmental sustainability. Beyond energy efficiency, airtight structures help create healthier indoor environments by
BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is a highly esteemed, long-established system for assessing the sustainability of buildings and infrastructure projects globally. Originating in the UK in 1990, it covers comprehensive assessment categories such as energy, water, and health and wellbeing, encouraging sustainable practices across various project types. The
When deciding whether to conduct your own Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) calculations or engage a professional, numerous factors must be considered, including the intricate and technical nature of SAP calculations required for assessing a dwelling’s energy efficiency. Although manual calculations are possible, they are often laborious and susceptible to errors,
Airtightness testing and pressure testing are crucial methodologies for assessing air leakage in buildings, with each offering distinct approaches and benefits. Pulse testing, a modern technique, operates at lower pressure levels with minimal disruption, making it suitable for existing buildings and quick assessments. Conversely, blower door testing, a more traditional
The relationship between SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) calculations and air tightness testing is vital for ensuring that buildings in the UK adhere to energy efficiency standards set by government regulations. SAP calculations evaluate various aspects of a dwelling’s energy profile, including insulation, heating, and ventilation, while air tightness testing specifically
Maintaining airtightness in a building is essential for enhancing energy efficiency, thermal comfort, and indoor air quality. To ensure airtightness over time, meticulously seal the building envelope using flexible caulks and sealants, and improve window and door seals with draught-proofing strips. Properly sealing HVAC duct penetrations and insulating wall and
