At Syntegra Consulting we are able to undertake new-build domestic SAP assessments and provide Predicted Energy Assessments (PEA) and On Construction Energy Performance Certificates (OCEPC) throughout the United Kingdom:
- In response to the EPBD; as of the 6th April, 2008 all new homes under construction require a PEA at design stage, and also an OCEPC at completion. A building completion certificate from building control cannot be issued without a new-build completion EPC (OCEPC) being issued
- SAP calculations are used mainly to determine carbon index and energy values for new-build homes and property by providing a PEA during the design stage to attain building control approval
- The need for OCEPC‘s is a requirement of the building regulations, and not the HIP regulations. The OCEPC can be used to form a part of a HIP if the property is to be marked for sale
- New-build SAP/EPC legislation states that an OCEPC are valid for 3 years
