Alan Pither Ltd offers a range of energy efficiency and environmental assessment services, including:
SAP Energy Rating Assessment
The Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) is the UK methodology for calculating the energy performance of dwellings. The calculation is based on the energy balance taking into account factors that contribute to energy efficiency: materials; thermal insulation; ventilation; efficiency and control of the heating system(s); solar gains; fuel used; renewable energy technologies.
