When Is Energy Assessment Needed?
Energy assessments are critical at various stages of a building's lifecycle. At Apex Energy Assessments, we provide crucial insights during the design phase, construction, and for existing buildings seeking compliance or performance improvements.
During the design phase, energy assessments help architects and developers ensure their plans meet the energy efficiency standards set out in Building Regulations Part L. Our assessments can pinpoint areas where improvements can be made, such as maximising insulation performance or selecting energy-efficient glazing.
For new developments, mandatory Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) calculations are needed to achieve compliance. In the construction phase, we work closely with builders to monitor energy criteria, often using air pressure tests to verify thermal quality.
Existing structures may need energy assessments for refurbishment or sale, also benefiting from a Display Energy Certificate (DEC) to highlight energy performance. We also perform Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) assessments, important for landlords and sellers to meet legal requirements when renting or selling properties.
