	Reduced Data SAP Dataset RDSAP is the methodology for assessing the energy performance of an existing dwelling. It is based on SAP, but because there are many SAP data items that cannot be collected in a survey of an existing building, RDSAP infers those items that the surveyor would otherwise have to guess. Some information about the development of RDSAP can be found on the FAERO website http://www.faero.org.uk/.
