Focus360 Energy Launches Comprehensive SAP Calculation Services to Simplify Building Regulations Compliance

Mar 30, 2023 | Business

SAP Calculations, or Standard Assessment Procedure, are an essential component of Part L of the UK Building Regulations. They are required for all new build homes, extensions, and conversions, playing a crucial role in assessing a building’s energy performance. SAP Calculations evaluate two key factors: the property’s Emission Rate (ER) and its Fabric Energy Efficiency (FEE). These evaluations help establish a benchmark Emissions Rate (BER) and a benchmark Fabric Energy Efficiency (BFEE) rate. In England, the ER and FEE values must be below the BER and BFEE calculations, while in Wales and Scotland, Building Standards require only ER measurements.

For those embarking on self-building projects or property development, navigating the planning and building control process can be a daunting task. Many find it challenging to meet all the new build energy efficiency compliance targets. Focus360 Energy’s expert guidance and assessment services help clients to seamlessly progress through this process, offering invaluable support at every stage.

In addition to aiding with compliance, Focus360 Energy’s SAP Calculation services also assist clients in obtaining the legally required Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) when marketing their property for sale or rent. An EPC can be generated once the SAP calculations are completed, providing essential information about the energy efficiency of the dwelling.

If a SAP calculation reveals that a dwelling’s emission rate does not meet compliance standards, Focus360 Energy’s assessors will offer valuable recommendations and guidance on necessary adjustments to the building’s energy efficiency. Assessing these areas can help improve a dwelling’s energy profile, decrease fuel costs, and secure an energy performance certificate.

Focus360 Energy’s dedication to offering clients outstanding service and expert advice ensures that self-builders, developers, and homeowners can confidently meet energy efficiency requirements and navigate the intricate world of Building Regulations compliance.

By providing a comprehensive and customized approach to SAP Calculations, Focus360 Energy positions itself as an essential partner for self-builders and developers looking to streamline the planning and building control process. Boasting a team of experienced professionals, Focus360 Energy guarantees expert guidance and support for clients throughout their projects.

Intermountain Cassia Hospital Athletic Trainer Program Brings Medical Expertise to Student Athletes

Mar 30, 2023 | Business

Athletic Trainer Program from Intermountain Cassia Regional Hospital provides medical expertise and guidance to help Idaho student athletes in their sports programs

To celebrate the work of certified sports trainers across the globe who bring vital medical expertise to the sidelines to help athletes at all levels, March has been designated National Athletic Training Month.

During the past four years, Intermountain Cassia Regional Hospital has partnered with Burley and Minico high schools in Idaho to provide certified athletic trainers to support student athletes in their sports programs. Players and administrators say they are aware of the key role trainers play in keeping students safe and prepared for competition.

“A trainer is an invaluable resource to have on campus for our athletes, and the difference is night and day” said Brady Trenkle, athletic director at Minico High School. “In the past, students might have to be out several days until they could get in to see a doctor to be assessed and cleared, but now they go right to our trainer who helps them immediately.”

While trainers are a major tool in the play book to keep kids safe and healthy, according to a 2020 report, they’re still not in place at 31 percent of high schools across the country.

It’s one of the reasons Seth Koyle, former Burley High School athlete and current Intermountain Health certified athletic trainer at Minico High School, was so eager to return to Mini-Cassia.

“When I played at Burley High School, I didn’t even know what an athletic trainer was,” said Koyle. “I suffered a torn labrum in my shoulder during football and no one really knew what happened, so I kept going until my shoulder started popping in-and-out of the socket during baseball season.”

Koyle says he finds a lot of purpose in his work knowing students will now have a place to turn when they’re injured or have questions. That drive is shared by his fellow Intermountain athletic trainer, Logan Parish, who covers Burley High School.

“Athletic trainers are about more than wrapping ankles and getting ice packs,” said Parish. “Our goals aren’t just to treat the injuries but to hopefully prevent them in the first place.”

Intermountain Health participates in an athletic training partnership program at 53 schools throughout Utah and Idaho.
