Appendix 5. New technologies
A mechanism for recognising technologies not included in the published SAP and RdSAP methodology is provided in Appendix Q of the SAP specification document.
To include technologies that are recognised via the SAP Appendix Q mechanism within RdSAP assessments, the following instructions must be followed.
Technologies recognised by this mechanism can be found at the webpage: http://www.ncm-pcdb.org.uk/sap/page.jsp?id=18 under the RdSAP 2012 heading. The webpage contains Excel spreadsheets that enable the calculation of energy savings and consumption for recognised technologies when installed in dwellings. Note that the spreadsheets under the SAP 2012 heading are not suitable for RdSAP; use only the spreadsheets under the RdSAP-2012 heading (subject to adding RdSAP2012 spreadsheets by BRE in the future).
During the new technology recignition process, manufacturers must devise a process for enablingassessors identification by displaying an NCM (SAP) identifier label.
During assessments of existing dwellings, where the assessor determines that a new technology recognised via RdSAP 2012 heading in SAP Appendix Q is present, they must follow these steps:
Photograph the NCM (SAP) Identifier label for the installed technology (temporary note: this is currently being developed)
If the label and, where applicable, a commissioning Certificate cannot be found, disregard the technology
Download the Appendix Q calculation spreadsheet for the appropriate technology from: http://www.ncm-pcdb.org.uk/sap/page.jsp?id=18
If Appendix Q RdSAP Spreadsheet for the technology is not available, disregard the technology
Provisionally complete the RdSAP assessment as normal
Follow the data entry instructions contained within Appendix Q calculation spreadsheet, proceed with the calculation by entering the NCM (SAP) Identifier and, if necessary, data from the RdSAP worksheet
Enter calculated energy savings and energy consumption (if applicable), calculated by the Appendix Q calculation spreadsheet and enter into RdSAP software.
Within RdSAP software, suppress Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) recommendations when instructed to do so by the RdSAP Appendix Q calculation spreadsheet
-
The Appendix Q calculation spreadsheet containing the calculation of savings must be saved and retained.
