The SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) energy cost rating is the Government's recommended system for energy rating of dwellings.
It is based on energy costs for space and water heating under standard occupancy, heating pattern and location using UK three-year average fuel prices.
The current SAP scale is rated from 1 to 120 - the higher the number the better the performance.
The average SAP for Cambridge City Council's housing stock in 2005 is 62. We are currently working towards a target of 65.
