The Building Research Establishment<\/a> (BRE) has announced a new project with BEIS<\/a> to improve and modernise the home energy rating scheme used to measure the energy and environmental performance of UK homes<\/h2>\n

As part of a three-year project, BRE\u00a0will develop a new version of the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP), the government\u2019s system for assessing and comparing home energy rating.<\/p>\n

This methodology is also used to create the information on Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and to show compliance with the energy conservation requirements of Building Regulations in the UK.<\/p>\n

BRE<\/a> will\u00a0lead a number of organisations and individuals in academia and industry to deliver a new home energy rating scheme \u2013 known as \u2018SAP 11\u2019 \u2013 which will be used by governments and industry to better measure and understand the energy performance of homes.<\/p>\n

As part of SAP 11, BRE will drive a \u2018root and branch\u2019 review of the existing methodology to create a new version that is better suited to modern and dynamic technologies which will help decarbonise the UK\u2019s housing stock, such as heat pumps, renewables, storage technologies and smart control devices.<\/p>\n

The new home energy rating scheme will be used as part of the Future Homes Standard<\/h3>\n

SAP 11 is expected to be used as part of\u00a0the Future Homes Standard<\/a> \u2013 a set of measures to be introduced on new homes built from 2025, to ensure they are fitted with low-carbon forms of heating, in line with the UK\u2019s wider net zero drive.<\/p>\n

BRE\u2019s methodology development will be guided by organisations and individuals within its steering group, who will either support the development of the method directly or be involved in the reviewing and validating process.<\/p>\n

This includes Sustenic, Loughborough University, Kiwa, University of Strathclyde\u2019s Energy Systems Research Unit, AECOM and the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), as well as Chris Martin and John Tebbit, two leading individuals in field trial design and product performance, respectively.<\/p>\n

‘Ensuring the use of low-carbon heating in new homes’<\/h3>\n

John Henderson, Project Director, BRE said: \u201cAs the UK begins to escalate its net zero initiatives, SAP 11 will be instrumental in the effort to decarbonise the nation\u2019s existing housing stock and ensure the use of low-carbon heating in new homes.<\/p>\n

“As the new methodology will improve EPC accuracy, energy efficiency measurements will be more reliable than ever. Effective assessment of energy performance is going to be absolutely central to our progress towards net zero.\u201d<\/p>\n
