The Home Energy Model (HEM) is a new way of forecasting the energy performance of residential buildings in the United Kingdom. In the coming years, HEM will replace the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) for generating Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) and checking compliance with Part L / Section 6 of Building Regulations.

​

HEM is currently in development. When it is approved for use, this blog will include tutorials and advice for how to use the new calculation tool.

While we're waiting, you can browse through this archive of my LinkedIn articles, covering changes to Building Regulations, Energy Performance Certification, national planning policy, and everything in between.​
