SAP Calculations (Part L)
SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) is the UK government’s method for calculating the energy performance and carbon emissions of new dwellings. It is used to demonstrate compliance with Building Regulations and to inform EPC ratings. HEM (Home Energy Model), the forthcoming replacement for SAP, will modernise this methodology and is expected to place even greater emphasis on real-world performance and low‑carbon design.
SBEM Assessments
SBEM (Simplified Building Energy Model) is the UK government-approved method for assessing the energy performance and carbon emissions of non-domestic buildings, used to demonstrate compliance with Part L and to produce EPCs. For more complex Level 5 buildings, such as those with advanced HVAC systems or atria, we use Dynamic Simulation Modelling (DSM) to provide a more detailed, accurate assessment and to optimise design performance.
Energy & Sustainability Statements
An Energy & Sustainability Statement sets out how a proposed development will reduce energy demand, cut carbon emissions and incorporate low‑carbon technologies in line with national and local planning policy. It typically covers energy efficiency measures, fabric performance, heating and cooling strategies, and the role of renewables. In London, these reports must demonstrate compliance with the London Plan energy hierarchy, including ‘Be Lean, Be Clean, Be Green’, and clearly evidence the predicted CO₂ reductions at each stage.
EPC Certification
Provision of official Energy Performance Certificates for new builds and existing properties, ensuring compliance for property sales and rental markets.
DEC Certification
Display Energy Certificates for public buildings, ensuring ongoing operational compliance and transparency.
Overheating Assessments (Part O & TM52)
We carry out detailed overheating analysis to help ensure comfortable, compliant internal environments in line with current UK guidance. Using dynamic thermal modelling, we assess designs against Building Regulations Part O, CIBSE TM52 criteria for overheating in occupied buildings, and BB101 guidance for schools. This allows us to test glazing, shading, ventilation and thermal mass strategies, identify risk hotspots and refine the design to protect occupant comfort during increasingly frequent hot weather events.
