New Build HIPs and Predictive Energy Assessments

Predictive Energy Assessments for New Build Properties

HIPs for existing dwellings are required to have a Energy Performance Certificate. As new homes marketed "off-plan" are physically incomplete, all new build HIPs will contain a Predicted Energy Assessment (PEA).

Predictive Energy Assessments can only be created by an accredited SAP assessor using SAP2005 cmpliant software.

Should a home become complete before a sale is completed then a full Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) will be required. The EPC will replace the PEA and must be requested within 14 days of the physical completion of the property.
