REQUEST A TRIAL>SAP is the government’s national calculation methodology for the energy efficiency assessment of newly constructed (new build) dwellings.
Building Regulations/Standards stipulate that SAP calculations are required before any construction work can begin on a property (Design Stage), and also following construction, before a property is marketed for sale or let (As Built Stage).
England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland all have different regulations and standards which apply to their new buildings.
Elmhurst continues to support different versions of Design SAP to ensure that users can complete SAP Calculations for different UK regions. As regulations are updated regionally, it is anticipated that most SAP Calculations will be completed using a single version of Design SAP.
