How does it work?

CiHA uses the rdSAP information stored in your Lifespan Housing account to enable you to produce a bespoke target energy pathway for individual or batches of properties.

What is the benefits of this over just using the recommendations created from a rdSAP assessment?

CiHA allows customers to:

• Model improvements beyond the default parameters of rdSAP,
   including specifying their own u-values or performance standards.

• Specify the trigger point when measures would be recommended
   beyond the default parameters of rdSAP

• Apply their own costs and lifecycles to any measures proposed for
   a more accurate payback calculation.

• Choose which measures they wish to apply e.g. removing those
   which may not be practically possible to complete.

How does the data from CiHA link to the customer's data in Lifespan?

Once the customer has completed their TEP or IOE, they can import each property's proposed energy efficiency measures into the planned maintenance section of their Lifespan Housing Account.

The benefits of this are as follows:

• All future works are stored in one place

• Energy Efficiency measures and routine component replacement can
   be coordinated together to create efficiencies e.g. sharing scaffold
   costs and avoid rework e.g. replacing windows after external wall
   insulation is installed.

What if I do not have properties with full rdSAP data in the Lifespan Housing Account?

Property Tectonics can help in several ways including:

• Undertaking stock condition surveys to obtain up-to-date rdSAP data.

• Work with Elmhurst and Stroma via an API link to retrieve
   any previously lodged EPC data into your account.
