How to Calculate Your SAP Gap in 3 Simple Steps
Step 1: Identify Your Current Score. Look at the top right of your existing EPC. A property with a score of 52 is Band E and requires exactly 17 SAP points to achieve Band C (69 points).
Step 2: Model Fabric Interventions. Test cavity wall insulation (+9 pts) and loft top-up (+5 pts). Combined, these two fabric upgrades deliver 14 points, bringing the score to 66.
Step 3: Select the Final Low-Cost Measure. Adding thermostatic radiator valves (+3 pts) pushes the score to 69, securing Band C compliance for under £2,500 total expenditure.
