In addition to a SAP or SBEM Assessment many local authorities are now requiring the provision of an Energy Statement with a planning application – before granting planning permission for building to commence.

As there is currently no national standard format – each Energy Statement that we prepare here at ATSPACE, will be individually created to meet the specific requirements of the local planning authority.

Energy Statements should act as a valuable and accurate working document which sets out the predicted CO₂ emissions and demonstrate potential improvements for reducing energy consumption and emissions – through the use of efficient fabric construction, efficient heating, ventilation and lighting, together with the use of renewable technologies.
