SBEM is simplified building energy modelling - this is required to enable a building to meet Part L regulations.

Commercial EPCS (Energy Performance Certificates) are required upon completion of most new builds - the certification rates how energy efficient your building is using grades from A to G.

Based on energy calculations, energy statements determine a building’s carbon emissions and subsequently, strategies to reduce this are created in line with national and local policy.

The majority of buildings are required to meet part L compliance. Buildings under Part L need to meet a specific set of sustainable requirements, such as carbon emission regulations and fabric efficiency standards.

BREEAM pre-assessment is the initial stage of the full BREEAM assessment process. At this stage, the targetted credits are decided to ensure that the required rating is viable.

BREEAM is the world’s leading environmental assessment method. The full assessment includes pre-assessment, design-stage, and post-construction.

Appointing a BREEAM AP, in addition to a BREEAM assessor, enables further credits to be targeted in the BREEAM certification process.
