PS24141 Developing RdSAP10 Code for the NBM

Descriptions

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Friday, 06 September 2024 at 11:00 DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal. Brief Description of Requirement The Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) and Reduced data SAP (RdSAP) are the Government's approved methodologies for assessing building energy performance and producing Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs). SAP is used in the assessment of new dwellings, whilst RdSAP is a simpler and lower cost method for assessing existing dwellings. To model the impact of Government policies that retrofit existing homes with energy efficiency measures and clean heat systems, DESNZ analysts use our in-house National Buildings Model (NBM). The overall aim of this project is to have a new RdSAP10-consistent energy calculator coded into the National Buildings Model (NBM). This should enable the calculation of EER and EIR scores for dwellings in the NBM, based on RdSAP10, and for the re-scoring of dwellings when building features are changed (e.g., walls are insulated or the heating system changed). The RdSAP10-consistent calculator should be implemented into the NBM such that the model can seamlessly switch between assessing dwellings with RdSAP2012 (as done now) and assessing dwellings with RdSAP10. However it may be necessary to create a different dataset as the RdSAP2012 combines some fields which RdSAP10 does not.
