SBEM Assessments and L2 Compliance
The Simplified Building Energy Method (SBEM) is the standard method for validating your commercial building’s compliance with current Building Regulations (Part L, 2021). An alternative is Dynamic Simulation Modelling (DSM), both ensuring your building meets necessary energy performance standards.
Why SBEM?
SBEM provides a detailed analysis of your building’s energy performance, ensuring compliance with regulations. By simulating heating systems and emission characteristics, SBEM offers a precise representation of your building’s energy use. For new non-domestic buildings, these calculations are mandatory to avoid non-compliance and potential fines.

DSM software in SBEM
The use of DSM software ensures a highly accurate portrayal of the building’s actual energy performance within the EPC model. Notably, this precision is maintained while adhering to regulated conventions. The simulation excels at replicating the heating systems and emission characteristics of a building’s fabric, providing a nuanced and precise representation. Furthermore, our approach offers superior flexibility in allocating equipment to specific zones compared to models like iSBEM, enabling a more adaptable and refined assessment.
If you are constructing a new non-domestic building, it is mandatory to conduct these calculations. Failure to do so may lead to non-compliance and result in fines.
