SAP software automatically downloads and uses the data from the PCDB to perform energy assessments. Product manufacturers submit their products and data to the Building Research Establishment (BRE) for inclusion in the database, ensuring the data is accurate and validated. For new technologies not yet in the PCDB, data is initially held in the SAP Appendix Q database, which is then migrated to the PCDB when a new SAP version is released. The PCDB and SAP Appendix Q also support other energy efficiency initiatives, such as the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme.
