Help shape the future of environmental standards

 

Members are invited to take part in a consultation to help shape the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP), the methodology used by the government to assess and compare the energy and environmental performance of dwellings. 

 

The SAP assessment is used for many purposes – including compliance with Building Regulations, and to produce Energy Performance Certificates, and this consultation sets out twenty areas of the methodology which are under review and seeks views on proposed changes. Comments are welcome on any part of SAP.

 

In addition to the consultation document below, draft specifications for the new versions of SAP are available on the BRE website with web-based tool cSAP available through the ISAP site.  Technical working papers with the evidence base supporting the consultation document are available via BRE.

 

Comments can be sent directly to the Department for Business, Energy and Department Strategy but please ensure that all comments are copied to Graham Chalkley, Assistant Practice Director by Friday 20 January 2017. Email [email protected]
