SBEM (Simplified Building Energy Model)

An SBEM is one way of demonstrating Part L2 compliance

• Demonstrate compliance with Criterions 1, 2 & 3 of ADL2A
• Produce BRUKL and SBEM compliance documents
• Clarify the specification necessary to achieve compliance
• Produce Energy Performance Certificates.

An SBEM (Simplified Building Energy Model) is the quickest method for demonstrating ADL2A compliance and producing  Energy Performance Certificates (EPC’s). However there is an alternative method with a more   sophisticated DSM modelling route, which can offer significant reduced project costs when compared to the SBEM method.

At Gladwood we use ‘IES Virtual Environment’ software to carry out SBEM assessments, which means that should you desire, upgrading to a DSM assessment or a thermal modelling analysis is possible at a cost effective rate.

Project visuals and animations are also possible using the SBEM model.

Furthermore, geometrical data from Sketchup and Revit software can also be utilised, avoiding the need and cost of regenerating this information. Using this method, working along side Architects, we can rapidly investigate the viability of various design proposals.
