An SBEM Assessment (Simplified Building Energy Model) is just one way of demonstrating Part L: Volume 2 compliance.
An SBEM calculation is the quickest method for demonstrating compliance and producing Energy Performance Certificates (EPC’s). However, there is an alternative method with a more sophisticated DSM modelling route, which can sometimes offer significant carbon saving 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 is possible at a cost effective rate.
