	answer	answer answer text <p>The target CO<sub>2</sub> emission rate referred to in the Building Regulations 2010 is based on the regulated energy use of a modelled building with a number of set characteristics. There is no single target emission rate, as it is dependent on the features of the building being constructed, such as its size. The target emission rate and the actual building emission rate are both modelled using the national calculation methodology for homes, which is the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP). The modelling specification to calculate the target CO<sub>2</sub> emission rate can be found in SAP Appendix R: <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bregroup.com%2Fsap%2Fstandard-assessment-procedure-sap-2012%2F&amp;data=02%7C01%7CVictoria.Tink%40communities.gov.uk%7C639cb57ebcaa4923aa7f08d7bc6b4fe3%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C637185041389336016&amp;sdata=jxjB7Tp%2FUhho%2BFWvE5wMnfZkfn0IfNDL73DDCL%2FmSAQ%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.bregroup.com/sap/standard-assessment-procedure-sap-2012/</a>.</p><p>Building Regulations are a devolved matter and therefore we do not assess the targets of Wales, Northern Ireland or Scotland. However, like England's targets, the method for calculating the devolved nations' targets are published online. We also work closely with the devolved nations to share learning on building standards.</p>
