SAP and SBEM Assessments

We understand the significance of the European Union’s Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, one of the main drivers in changing the UK regulations, produced as a response to fears over climate change as well as other significant factors for tackling the energy efficiency in buildings.

Addressing energy use and emissions in building has the potential to make a substantial difference to overall energy emissions in Europe owing to the long service life of a building which can therefore result in a long-term benefit for reducing emissions.

The objective of the directive is to ‘promote the improvement of the energy performance of buildings’ and outlines the major areas which will be affected.

The UK has adopted the SAP methodology for dwellings and SBEM for non-dwellings and with measurement methods in place it is possible to set minimum performance standards differentiating between building types and also between new and existing buildings.

New regulations will insist that an Energy Performance Certificate is made available to owner/buyer or tenant when buildings are constructed, sold or rented out and that this will include reference values such as legal standards and benchmarks in order for consumers to assess the energy performance of the building. This certificate will also have recommendations for cost-effective improvements to the energy performance.

Waldeck employs accredited / qualified assessors that can provide:

  • SAP calculations
  • SBEM calculations
  • Energy Performance Certificate and recommendations
