SBEM/EPC Non Domestic/Commercial Energy Assessments

The 2006 revision to Part L means that for the first time all new buildings will have to meet a target rate of carbon dioxide emissions. For buildings other than dwellings a new calculation process is needed to assess both the target emissions and the proposed building emissions. We can supply SBEM calculations to assess energy ratings and CO2 emission values for your commercial property. Our building energy assessors are qualified and accredited for the issue of building energy calculations and Energy Performance Certificates. Developed for DCLG (formerly ODPM) by BRE, the Simplified Building Energy Model (SBEM) is the default method for carrying out these calculations. Building designers and consultants, and other interested professionals, will need to familiarise themselves with the new compliance method.
