SBEM (Simplified Building Energy Model) is a Government-defined process to demonstrate compliance with Part L2A of Building Regulations.

SBEM calculates the energy cost and carbon emissions generated to heat, light, ventilate, cool and provide hot water to a building, and should be applied from the design stage of the build process.

An SBEM is required at the 'Design Stage'and at the 'As-built' stage.

Design Stage - Building Control will require the SBEM report along with your Building Regulations Application. Without the SBEM report, it is unlikely that your BCO/AI will allow building to commence.
As-built Stage - required when the building is completed. Without a relevant SBEM report and EPC, it is unlikely that the building will achieve Building Control approval.

Do I need an SBEM?

Yes, from April 2006 all new non-dwelling buildings require an SBEM Calculation.

HOW CAN WE HELP?

We will provide SBEM calculations to demonstrate the latest Building Control required 2006 Part L2A Compliance for all UK and Northern Ireland Commercial
Buildings (whether new-build, converted or extended).

Our experienced team will help you achieve the most practical, cost-effective route to compliance. We will not just carry out the calculation but also offer advice and recommendations to achieve the most energy efficient building.

We have made our service as efficient and user friendly as possible. By providing us with the building drawings via our email address we will contact you with
a fully inclusive quotation to demonstrate building regulation compliance.
All our SBEM calculations utilise DCLG approved, Dynamic Thermal Modelling (IES) software and are fully submittable to building control. We are also accredited
to produce Energy Performance Certificates (EPC's) for Level 3, 4 & 5 buildings once the building has been completed.

We have built up a varied client base ranging from large construction companies to private individuals and each project is given the same level of service.

If you would like to ask any technical questions or if you would like to know about some of the projects that we have worked on in the past
and see some case studies then please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to share our experiences.
