SBEM (Simplified Building Energy Model) is a calculation method used to assess the energy performance of commercial buildings and demonstrate compliance with Building Regulations. It evaluates the building’s energy consumption and CO2 emissions based on its design and systems.
SBEM calculations are essential for new commercial buildings and significant renovations, helping to ensure that buildings are designed to be as energy-efficient as possible while meeting regulatory requirements.
Our accredited energy assessors will:
Detailed energy calculations and Building Regulations compliance documentation
Comprehensive test results and compliance documentation
Confidence that your workplace is electrically safe
An SBEM calculation is required for most new commercial buildings and significant renovations. It’s needed to demonstrate compliance with Building Regulations Part J (Conservation of fuel and power) and to show that the building has been designed to minimize energy consumption.

An SBEM calculation is required for most new commercial buildings and significant renovations. It’s needed to demonstrate compliance with Building Regulations Part J (Conservation of fuel and power).
We require a full set of scale plans (including sections, elevations and a site plan showing North) as well as details about the building’s construction, HVAC systems, lighting and any renewable energy sources.
SBEM calculations must be carried out by a qualified and accredited energy assessor who is familiar with the National Calculation Methodology (NCM).
THe time required depends on the size and complexity of the building. It can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks.
An SBEM calculation helps ensure compliance with Building Regulations, improves the energy efficiency of the building, reduces CO2 emissions and can lead to cost savings on energy bills.
The cost varies based on the size and complexity of the building. For an acurate quote, please contact us directly.
To prepare, gather all relevant documentation, including building plans, specifications of HVAC systems, lighting and any renewable energy installations.
