Energy surveys for commercial properties

If you're planning a new non-residential building, or making significant changes to an existing one, SBEM calculations are a legal requirement under current UK Building Regulations.

At AH Surveys Ltd, we provide fully accredited SBEM calculations for commercial projects across West Yorkshire, helping you achieve compliance quickly and confidently.

We offer both L2A (new builds) and L2B (conversions and extensions) assessments, guiding you through the entire process from initial design advice to the final report.

Our service includes all the documentation you need, with expert support every step of the way.

What are SBEM calculations?

SBEM stands for Simplified Building Energy Model. It’s the method used to assess the energy efficiency of commercial buildings, as required under Part L of the Building Regulations (or Section 6 in Scotland and Part F1 in Northern Ireland).

These calculations measure how much energy your building will use, taking into account its structure, heating and cooling systems, hot water, lighting, and solar gain.

The results are used to generate a BRUKL (Building Regulations UK Part L) report and an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).

What's included?

At AH Surveys Ltd, our SBEM calculation service includes:

  • L2A and L2B assessments for new builds, conversions and extensions
  • BER (Building Emissions Rate) and TER (Target Emissions Rate) comparisons
  • A full BRUKL compliance report
  • The final Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
  • Guidance and support throughout, including advice on how to improve compliance if needed

We recommend getting your SBEM calculations done early in the design phase so we can help you make any necessary changes before construction begins.

Why do I need SBEM calculations?

In England, your SBEM calculations will assess:

  • That the BER does not exceed the TER
  • The efficiency of building fabric, lighting, heating, cooling, and hot water systems
  • Passive solar control to reduce the need for air conditioning
  • The final Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
  • Provisions that enable efficient building operation in the long term

SBEM compliance is essential for obtaining building sign-off and issuing your EPC.
