Standard Assessment Procedure Methodology

In the UK every business, regardless of size, is legally required to conduct a legionella risk assessment to identify potential issues. This applies to all landlords and business owners. You have a responsibility to ensure all legislation and regulations relating to Legionella bacteria, in particular the Health & Safety at Work Act and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) are adhered to.

What To Know

What is Legionella?

Legionella bacteria can cause severe health conditions including the potentially fatal Legionnaires’ disease. It can affect anybody, but some people are at higher risk including those over 45, smokers and heavy drinkers, those suffering from chronic respiratory or kidney disease, and people whose immune system is impaired.

Do I require a Legionella Assessment?

In the UK every business, regardless of size, is legally required to conduct a legionella risk assessment to identify potential issues. This applies to all landlords and business owners.

Checking all water sources and testing for potential dangers.

Water Temperature Checks

Identifying if there is any Legionella bacteria present in the water system.

Setting up the necessary safety measurements to control and minimise the threat of Legionella bacteria spreading in your property.

EPC Commercial Energy Performance Certificate

If you’re selling or creating a new lease for your commercial building, you must display a Commercial EPC certificate. Fines for non-compliance can be up to £5000. We can complete your EPC certificate and get it on the commercial EPC register for Scotland within 48 hours.

Simplified Building Energy Model Calculations

SBEM calculations must be carried out as part of the Building Warrant applications for almost all commercial buildings. We’ll help you prepare for your submission and make sure the development complies with Section 6 of the Scottish building regulations.

Section 63 Assessment, Advice & Action Plans

If your property is over 1000sqm in size and was built prior to 2002, then it may be subject to the new Scottish Section 63 Legislation. We can guild you through the entire compliance process.

Standard Assessment Procedure Methodology

All new residential buildings including some conversions and extensions now require a SAP assessment as part of the building warrant application. SAP assessments are used to determine if the proposed development complies with local buildings regulations on energy efficiency.

ESOS Compliance and Energy Audits

Participants must ensure that at least 90% of their total energy use is subject to ESOS Energy Audits or an alternative route to compliance. For the purposes of ESOS the areas of energy usage which cumulatively meet 90% of total energy consumption are referred to as ‘areas of significant energy use’. Other areas of energy consumption will not require an audit.

Display Energy Certificates (DEC)

A Display Energy Certificate (DEC) displays the energy performance of a building over a 12 month period, based on the operational rating, on a scale from A to G. The DEC may be accompanied by an advisory report which outlines how the organisation can reduce their energy consumption.

Legionella Certificates (LGN)

Legionella bacteria can cause severe health conditions including the potentially fatal Legionnaires’ disease. It can affect anybody, but some people are at higher risk including those over 45, smokers and heavy drinkers, those suffering from chronic respiratory or kidney disease, and people whose immune system is impaired.

Dynamic Simulation Modelling (DSM)

Dynamic Simulation Modelling (DSM), also know as Thermal Modelling, uses sophisticated computer software to assess the environmental performance of buildings.
