SAP Calculations for Extensions, Conservatories & Orangeries
Currently, all extensions to existing domestic dwellings will require a SAP Calculation. This includes traditonal extensions, non thermally separated conservatories, garden / sun-rooms and orangeries.
The SAP assessment required will depend upon the amount of glazing in the extension. If the glazing is less than 25% of the total floor area of the extension, plus any openings covered by the extension then it is likely the Building Control Authority will accept a lesser amount of information than if the glazing is over the 25%.
If the glazing is greater than 25%, a more in depth SAP assessment will be required to satisfy Building Regulations.
