DSSY errors – Important Information

DSSY ERRORS – Due to the large amount of information that is recorded on the deemed score survey Anesco has seen a higher number of document errors within the template.

Examples of commonly seen inaccuracies:

• The number of external walls listed in section 6 for flats or maisonettes must be consistent with the floor plan.
• Further information regarding the number of external walls can be found within the Ofgem delivery guidance version 1.2 (page 98).
• The number bedrooms stated in section 7 must match the bedroom count on the floor plan.
• If a bedroom is located on the ground floor a photo is required, to evidence the room is being used as a bedroom.
• For dual measures please ensure that the primary insulation measure is listed in section 13.
• For insulation measures the roof type must be labelled on the floor plan.
• For multi storey premises, please record floor position within the floor plan, ie basement, ground floor, room-in-roof.
• Please note that this requirement will now be enforced.
• For heating measures ensure pre existing heating controls are labelled on the floor plan, including any radiators with TRVs.
• The wall construction type throughout the survey must be consistent.
• The property dimensions must be labelled on the floor plan.
• Annex 1 is to be completed for all measure types, including heating measures.
