What is SAP?
From SAP is the Government's Standard Assessment Procedure for Energy Rating of Dwellings. SAP 2005 is adopted by government as part of the UK national methodology for calculation of the energy performance of buildings. It is used to demonstrate compliance for dwellings with Part L of the Building Regulations (England and Wales) and to provide energy ratings for dwellings.
How can Genersys help you improve SAP ratings?
Available for download are a selection of files showing how Genersys solar panels cannot only help your SAP rating, but just how much CO2 carbon dioxide a typical solar panel system can save when compared to conventional hot water heating.
And by how much?
The table below gives a glimpse at what improvements can be made to your SAP and how much carbon savings can be made through the use of Genersys solar panels in building homes.
