Existing Dwellings - Software
What is the Elmhurst Reduced Data Standard Assessment Procedure (RdSAP) Software and what does it do?
Reduced Data SAP (RdSAP) is the Government's National Calculation Methodology for the energy efficiency assessment of existing dwellings and enables Energy Assessors to produce EPCs from data collected at a dwelling, during an observational survey, without the need for invasive or destructive investigation. All Elmhurst SAP software is independently checked and approved by Government to ensure it calculates the energy ratings and produces EPCs in accordance with the required Government standards.
The national RdSAP methodology has in part been developed based on Elmhurst's own proprietary Streamline system. Building on our unrivalled 15 years of SAP experience in this field, Elmhurst now provides market leading RdSAP software solutions which are available online to Elmhurst Accredited Energy Assessors via Pocket PC applications and a number of third party systems.
The Elmhurst RdSAP Software calculates the Energy Performance (SAP) rating and Environmental Impact Rating of an existing dwelling, and produces the legally valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) which includes a series of recommendations of ways to improve the energy performance of a dwelling.
Elmhurst also provides access to the online RdSAP software during DEA training, this allows for trainees to thoroughly test, train and be familiar with a Government approved version of the software.
How easy is it to use the RdSAP Software?
The key to the success of Elmhurst RdSAP is the simplicity of the survey system and the on-line availability of the software which allows it to be accessed 24hours a day and 7 days a week. This Elmhurst system is the most easily used RdSAP system available, right from the comprehensive and easy to understand user manual, survey report form, to user friendly software and professional technical support helpline for surveying and IT related issues (Helpline available Mon-Fri 9am-5pm).
