What is an L2A SBEM Calculation?

It is the Part L energy assessment required for new non-domestic buildings.

What is the difference between SAP and SBEM?

SAP is generally used for residential dwellings, while SBEM is used for commercial and other non-domestic buildings.

When should the assessment be completed?

The design-stage SBEM should ideally be completed before construction or before the M&E design is finalised.

What information do you need?

We normally require architectural drawings, the building specification, glazing, HVAC, ventilation, lighting and hot-water information.

Will I receive a commercial EPC?

Where applicable, the EPC is prepared following completion of the compliant as-built SBEM assessment.

Can you help if the building does not comply?

Yes. The assessor can recommend practical improvements to the fabric, HVAC, lighting, controls or renewable systems.

Do commercial buildings need air testing?

Many new commercial buildings require an air permeability test for the final as-built assessment, subject to the applicable rules and project size.

Do you cover all of Nottingham?

Yes. We provide L2A SBEM calculations throughout Nottingham, Nottinghamshire and surrounding areas.

What information is needed for a quotation?

Provide the address, building use, floor area, drawings, design stage and available M&E information.
