SBEM Calculations
For New Commercial Buildings
An SBEM Calculation (Simplified Building Energy Model) is required to demonstrate compliance with Part L of the UK Building Regulations for non-domestic buildings. A commercial SBEM Calculation assesses energy efficiency and COâ‚‚ emissions, generating a BRUKL Report. You need one for new builds, extensions, and certain refurbishments before construction begins. Get your SBEM Calculation UK with Energy Ready Today.

What are SBEM Calculations?
At the design stage of a commercial building project, building control will ask for an SBEM (Simplified Building Energy Model) Calculation and a BRUKL Report. The BRUKL Report stands for Building Regulations UK Part L Report and is a design stage assessment of the building to demonstrate that the building's CO2 emissions rate (BER) is less than the target CO2 emissions rate (TER) and that the primary energy rate (BPER) is less than the target primary energy rate (TPER). These numbers are understood alongside the Building Regulation Part L requirement for the fabric u-values of the windows, doors, walls, floor, roof, etc. Once these targets are all met the building receives a pass and construction of the design under part L of the building regulations for energy efficiency is then approved.
​
Get your Commercial SBEM calculations sorted early on in the project to avoid costly refits and design changes in the later stages of your project if your design is not meeting the targets.
