The way new homes are assessed for energy performance is changing, with significant implications for housebuilders as the industry prepares for the Future Homes Standard.
The transition from the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) to the new Home Energy Model (HEM), alongside wider changes to Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), will affect how the energy performance of new homes is calculated and demonstrated. For housebuilders, understanding how the new approach differs from the current system, and how it could influence design, specification and compliance decisions, will be increasingly important.
In this webinar, Naomi Sadler of SEES will join Housebuilder & Developer Managing Editor James Parker to explain the changes, what the move from SAP to HEM means in practice, and the key considerations for housebuilders preparing for the new requirements.
The session will explore the practical implications for new-build developments, where housebuilders may need to adapt their current approach, and what development and technical teams should be considering now to ensure they are ready for the changes ahead.
The webinar will conclude with a live audience Q&A, giving attendees the opportunity to put their questions directly to Naomi.
