Residential thermal regulations
The conservation of fuel and power
‘Energy Performance of Buildings Directive’ (EPBD)
The UK must implement the European Union EPBD within local
Building Regulations. A key requirement of the EPBD is that an
overall energy performance target must be set for each building.
This means the demise of former calculation methods such as the
Elemental Method and Target U-value Method. The new 2006 edition of
the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP 2006) is now the only way of
demonstrating compliance with the new requirements.
