SBEM Calculations
|
It is now a requirement to produce SBEM Calculations for new build 'non dwellings'. Build Energy is vastly experienced in meeting Part L requirements for both commercial and public buildings. |

All new buildings are required to demonstrate compliance with the Building Regulations before building control can give permission to build. In commercial buildings compliance for Part L (England & Wales), Part F (Northern Ireland) and Section 6 (Scotland) is demonstrated using SBEM Calculations.
SBEM, or the Simplified Building Energy Model is a government approved methodology which can be used to calculate the energy required to heat, ventilate and light a building over a 12 month period when used under 'normal” circumstances
The calculation considers factors such as construction type including specific u-values for walls, roofs, floors and windows. The efficiency of heating systems, hot water and ventilation systems and other factors affecting energy consumption are all measured
There are two stages to the assessment - design (required for permission to build) and 'as built' (required for a completion certificate and EPC to be issued)
The output of the report is a simple pass or fail. Our experienced assessors will work with you to provide the most practical solutions to achieve a pass while maintaining complete design flexibility
We can also take care of any extentions, convertions or change of use projects, where SBEM also applies
