An Energy Statement for a planning application is a document that outlines how a proposed development will meet energy efficiency and sustainability requirements. It typically demonstrates compliance with local planning policies and national energy standards by detailing measures to reduce carbon emissions, improve energy efficiency, and incorporate renewable energy sources.
A Sustainability Statement for a planning application is a document that demonstrates how a proposed development will meet sustainability principles and environmental goals. It assesses the project's environmental, social, and economic impacts and ensures compliance with local and national sustainability policies.
Overheating calculations assess whether a building is at risk of excessive indoor temperatures, particularly during warm weather. These calculations ensure that a development meets thermal comfort standards and prevents overheating, which can impact occupant health and well-being.
SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) calculations are the UK government's approved method for assessing the energy efficiency of residential buildings. They predict a home's energy use, carbon emissions, and fuel costs, ensuring compliance with Building Regulations Part L (Conservation of Fuel and Power).
SBEM (Simplified Building Energy Model) calculations are the UK government’s approved method for assessing the energy performance of non-domestic buildings. They measure a building’s energy use, CO₂ emissions, and compliance with Part L of the Building Regulations (Conservation of Fuel and Power).
Psi (Ψ) calculations measure thermal bridging in buildings, assessing the heat loss that occurs at junctions between building elements (e.g., where walls meet floors, roofs, and windows). These calculations help improve energy efficiency and ensure compliance with Part L of the UK Building Regulations.
Water Efficiency Calculations measure the estimated water consumption of a new residential development, ensuring compliance with Part G of the UK Building Regulations. These calculations determine whether a building meets the required water usage limits per person per day.
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is an official document that provides a rating of a building’s energy efficiency. It is required when a property is built, sold, or rented
