What is a New Build SAP Calculation?


A SAP Calculation (Standard Assessment Procedure) is the government-approved method for demonstrating the energy efficiency of new builds, extensions, and conversions. It’s required by Building Regulations Part L in England and Wales, and is a crucial step in gaining sign-off for your project.


Put simply: if your SAP Calculations are wrong, you risk delays, compliance issues, or costly redesigns. That’s why working with an accredited, independently-audited assessor makes such a difference.
