Second meeting of the SAP Industry Forum

09 October 2018

The second meeting of the SAP Industry Forum is taking place on October 24. Following BEAMA's input into the SAP tender, SAPIF will set up industry-led work streams to provide input into the next version of SAP (SAP 11).

SAP 11 is at a very early stage of development. Robust Details' intention is that SAPIF will help in adapting SAP to facilitate issues such as digital construction, smart technologies and increasingly complex combinations of renewables and home energy storage, as well as developments in such areas as overheating, cooling technologies, hot water usage and ventilation.

The main objective of the second meeting if to identify the major areas where detailed work is needed to develop new methodologies to support the inclusion of such technologies.

A series of industry-led work streams has been proposed by Robust Details, although they stated that not all of them can be set up:

  • Domestic Hot Water
  • Smart controls, technologies and tariffs
  • Home energy storage (heat and electricity)
  • Overheating (including prevention and cooling)
  • Indoor air quality and ventilation
  • Compliance in a smart world
  • Digital construction and interfacing with SAP

BEAMA will be represented and this meeting and will report back to the relevant groups individually. A report and minutes of the meeting will be posted here shortly after.
