The Home Energy Model for Energy Assessors
The Home Energy Model will replace SAP and RdSAP. This 27-minute session covers what it is, when it arrives, the four headline metrics on the new EPC, how your survey is likely to change and the training you’re likely to need. It keeps what the government has decided apart from what is still only proposed.
