SAP Calculations

Applicable for New Build Dwellings, Heavily Glazed Extensions, and Change of Use to Residential

The Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) Calculation is an asset rating system introduced through Part L of the Building Regulations to evaluate the annual energy costs of new and, in some cases, existing dwellings. SAP Calculations measure the fuel needed for heating, ventilation, and lighting, generating a score from 1 to 100+.

A SAP rating of 100 signifies zero energy costs for the end-user, with scores above 100 indicating energy export potential.

New homes on the Isle of Man are now required to achieve a minimum SAP score of 88 to comply with Building Regulations. This standard increased to a SAP score of 93 in 2024 and to 97 in 2027.
