SBEM Calculation Before construction begins, you will need to have an SBEM Calculation completed for your new non-domestic building to check the expected carbon emissions against a target.
Planning RIBA Design RIBA 4. Construction RIBA 5. Completion RIBA 6. Post-completion RIBA 7. Factors such as construction type — including specific U-values for walls, roofs, floors and windows are all taken into account. Much like SAP the efficiency of heating systems, hot water and ventilation systems and other factors affecting energy consumption are all measured.
The first stage is required to ensure your design meets Part L compliance before you start building. Increasingly sustainable and ethical premises are appealing to businesses who want their office to reflect both their ethos and corporate responsibility policy.
Our services include:. They will work with you to provide the most practical solutions to help you achieve a pass as well as offer guidance to help your development to go beyond building regulations. As SBEM is a desktop exercise, all we require to complete your SBEM calculation, is copies of plans and specifications which can be emailed to us at info baseenergy.
A site visit can also be arranged if required to provide advise on the design of the building to help pass the SBEM calculation. The calculations should be carried out before the building is constructed based on the proposed plans and again once it has been built. SBEM Calculations play an important part in protecting the environment. The calculations demonstrate the estimated kilograms of carbon emissions from the building each year and seeing the number like this can put things into perspective for many people.
SBEM will not necessarily comply if the building is simply insulated to the minimum standards. This has benefits for both the environment and those who end up occupying the building. Dynamic Simulation Modelling DSM uses whole building simulation programs which can then be used to undertake the calculations for Part L compliance.
