Predicted Energy Assessment PEA New Build Homes Dwellings

What are Predicted Energy Assessments?

Predicted Energy Assessment (PEA). This is the predicted SAP Rating and Environmental Impact (CO2) rating from the SAP calculations that should have been completed at the design stage, to check whether they comply with Building Regulations. Predicted Energy Assessments do not have a Recommendation Report like full Energy Performance Certificates.

Predicted Energy Assessments (PEA) are for new homes which are incomplete before or at the first point of marketing. Normally, when a home is designed, a “target energy rating” based on the design is produced to show a building inspector that the property will meet requirements under Part L of the Building Regulations.

The final energy performance of the property must achieve at least this target energy rating to receive its final sign-off from the building inspector. 

Given the importance of conveying energy efficiency information to the prospective buyer, this existing process will be used to produce a “predicted energy assessment” for the property. A cost effective method of producing the EPC instead of using a domestic energy assessor to visit and carry out a site energy inspection and assess the property is to undertake a ‘Predicted Energy Assessment’, which is designed for houses that are not yet physically completed. The Predicted Energy Assessments can be extrapolated from the ‘as built’ SAP calculations and are significantly easier to produce than a conventional full Energy Performance Certificate EPC
