SBEM Calculations Explained

SBEM Calculations (simplified Building Energy Model) are calculations carried out to any new build, extended or refurbished commercial property over 50m2, reviewing and/or specifying the building fabric, heating, hot water, cooling, ventilation and lighting.

SBEM Calculations review any provide a clear view of the carbon emissions and energy performance of the property as well as ensuring compliance to Building regulations Part L2.

Compliance is displayed through a BRUKL report, the calculations produce a BER & TER for the property,

TER – Target Emission Rate,

BER – Building Emission Rate,

If the BER is lower than the TER the building complies to Building regulations Part L2, as the target and building emission rates are both calculated and specific to each dwelling, it is always important to have SBEM Calculations completed at a design stage where possible.

If the use of renewable energy sources have been used within the building, such as air/ground source heat pumps, Solar PV, Solar thermal, wind turbines, these can all be accounted for within the SBEM calculations.

On completion of the building, an EPC will be required, this will be provided along side the as-built SBEM

How can I pass my SBEM Calculations?

If you are looking to ensure compliance with your SBEM Calculations, a few elements can be designed or implemented to make achieving compliance to Building Regulations Part L much easier,

Thermal Insulation

SBEM Calculations assess the thermal performance of all floor, wall, roof and glazing. designing high performing elements or ensuring your architect is doing the same.

Heating & Cooling efficiencies

Heating & cooling efficiencies are a big part of SBEM Calculations, therefore the selection of type and efficiency of the systems for your development can be crucial for compliance. For example Air source heat pumps can achieve efficiencies of >300% and therefore can make a great impact on your SBEM Calculations & BRUKL Report.

Lighting

Well designed lighting systems is another key element in your SBEM Calculations and one that can be sometimes overlooked. designing your lighting efficiently can assist in ensuring compliance.
