SBEM Calculations
SBEM Calculations, also known as the Simplified Building Energy Model, are carried out for new non-residential buildings to show that energy performance complies to Part L2 of UK Building Regulations.
The process calculates the annual energy consumption required to adequately heat, ventilate and light the building under normal conditions. It is a mandatory requirement for any new build commercial building with a floor area greater than 50m2.
SBEM Calculations are also required for some extensions and conversions.
SBEM Project Timeline
Design Stage SBEM
Local Building Control will require design stage sbem calculations to be submitted with the buildings regulations application. Failure to provide this to building control can lead to delays to the project.
As-Built Stage SBEM
When the building is completed, building control will need the As Built SBEM calculations & EPC in order to issue final building approval.
