Energy Rating New Dwellings (SAP)
Kelda’s Deluxe Shower Panel is fitted with Air-Powered™ Shower Technology, recognised by the Government’s Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) through SAP Appendix Q.
The Standard Assessment Procedure is used for calculating the energy rating of new dwellings.
Test calculations have found that replacing a conventional mixer shower with our Air-Powered™ shower can help achieve compliance with Part L of the Building Regulations and, as less water is used, it can also help with Part G.
Kelda is committed to offering support to specifiers / SAP Assessors to help ensure that the impact is optimised.
How Kelda Showers Provide a Great Solution for New Build Housing
Reduce Energy Consumption
Low-carbon, cost-effective route to achieving regulatory compliance.
Low Maintenance
Easily installed and maintained in future house designs.
Reduced Water Consumption
Reduced household water usage.
Homeowner Savings
Homeowners love the reduction in utility bills as well as the immersive experience.
Radically Reducing Water Consumption
Kelda Showers can help compliance with building regulations, specifically Part G.
Using 55% less water, our Air-Powered™ technology prevents exceeding the water usage target of 125 litres per person per day or 110 litres per person per day in water stress areas. Due to improvements in fabric efficiency, hot water will take over from space heating as a primary energy load.
Our Deluxe Shower Panels are manufactured with limescale-resistant nozzles, preventing blockage and reducing water pressure.
Verified Savings for Homeowners
Energy Saving Trust has verified the following claims regarding the energy efficiency of our Air-Powered™ showers:
• A typical home could cut its annual energy consumption by about 10% (2,200kWh) by replacing its conventional mixer shower with a Kelda shower.
• A Kelda shower can save a total of £385 in the annual water and energy bills of a household of four.
Our Air-Powered™ showers are highly efficient thanks to their intelligent microprocessor and powerful digital fan, the latter of which helps to minimise the risk of legionella.
Lower Household CO2e
In a recent trial with Barratt Developments, a Kelda shower was proven to reduce carbon emissions by 5,000 kg CO2e, equivalent to a 10% reduction in Dwelling Emission Rate (DER).
As verified by the Energy Saving Trust, a typical home could cut its annual energy carbon emissions by about 11% (630 kg CO2e) by replacing its conventional mixer shower with a Kelda shower.
A Kelda shower emits 630 fewer kilograms of carbon dioxide per year than a conventional mixer shower. Our showers offer significant carbon reduction, which can be heightened in super insulated homes.
