CADjockey Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Afternoon all, We finally achieved planning approval after 4 years, but that's another whole story of abuse of power (imho)... So I'm now into the pre build stuff, including self-build mortgage applications. I've seen that ecology.co.uk require a minimum SAP rating of 88 which I kind of assume should be achievable with reasonable modern build. I need someone to make this calculation. Has anyone here got any recomendations. I won't have build drawings (not just planning drawings) until mid November, but I'd like to find someone for when I do. Help appreciated.

IanR Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I used Nick Gill at Pebble Energy. https://pebble-energy.com/index.html Get a price commitment for also updating and submitting your as-built SAP, once you're finished. Some seemed to want to treat this as a "start again", but Nick was very reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorfun Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 it might be worth thinking about this all some more and how the SAP will fit in with the rest of the design/build of the house. for example, you might find a company to design all your M&E requirements who can also do thermal modelling or PHPP and then the SAP can be bundled in with all of that. I mention this as we just went with the architect's choice for SAP and thermal modelling and had a lot of hassle with them but we didn't know any better. A little further down the line after I started looking in to MVHR, ASHP, Solar PV design etc I came across a company called Enhabit who are doing all of those for me and they also do thermal modelling/PHPP which would've given us a much better picture of how the whole house will work together. so, maybe it's worth putting it all under one roof? I guess it all depends on what your goals for your house are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
