Recent updates in Government legislation have put buildings at the forefront of its strategy to combat CO2 emissions. Bridgewater Energy can guide you through the process of complying with building regulations and providing energy certificates. We have knowledge and expertise based upon 15 years of building specification and assessment.

All new dwellings must undergo a SAP assessment to determine energy use and a selection of properties must also undergo an air permeability test to measure air tightness. From these an Energy Performance Certificate is produced for inclusion in a Home Information Pack.

New commercial buildings require an SBEM assessment at design stage and at completion. This detailed methodology considers insulation levels and building services such as heating, lighting, and air conditioning.
Existing commercial buildings must also have an Energy Performance Certificate when they are sold or rented.

Display Energy Certificates have been introduced for public buildings. These give a rating based upon actual energy consumption using meter readings together with an advisory report.
