A high priority within the building industry is to find ways to create greener, more sustainable developments. As a result, energy efficiency is a high priority in the UK.
Energy assessments are carried out to ensure that new buildings are:
When we complete an SBEM calculation we provide an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to demonstrate compliance.
There are several criterions for Part L2A of the UK’s Commercial Building Regulations in order to pass an SBEM calculation which we will explore now.
It’s important to note that this is not a one-size-fits-all approach, but there are key areas that can make improvements to your results and are common across most non-domestic building types.

A Simplified Building Energy Model (SBEM) calculation must be completed to prove a new commercial building is compliant with Part L Building Regulations.
The standards for energy efficiency are becoming increasingly rigorous, posing challenges for developers and property builders.
All new properties should comply with Part L2A of the Building Regulations in England and Wales and should be taken into consideration at design stage.
A SBEM (Simplified Building Energy Model) is a computer program that provides a detailed analysis of a building’s energy consumption for commercial buildings.
