SBEM & EPC

SBEM (Part L Compliance)

We are:

• Low Carbon Consultants
• Accredited Non-Domestic Energy Assessors, Level 3, 4 & 5
• Approved to issue EPCs for both existing and new non-domestic buildings

Your building will be assessed for meeting the requirements of Building Regulations Part L, local planning conditions and SBEM compliance using Simplified Building Energy Model (SBEM) software. We will give advice on adopting cost conscious, energy and fuel efficient building services including: lighting, heating, cooling, ventilation and controls to achieve compliance.

Our aim is to achieve workable, cost effective and energy fuel efficient solutions to buildings and their installed building services to create manageable and comfortable environments for occupants.

Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs)

The requirement for Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) was introduced in England and Wales from 6 April 2008, for non-domestic buildings with a floor area greater than 50 m².

Non-dwellings are "responsible for almost 20 per cent of the UK's energy consumption and carbon emissions." As a consequence, we will conduct building surveys for the issue of EPCs and advise clients on adopting the most cost efficient energy reduction measures. Rented commercial property in England and Wales must currently have an EPC rating of E or better, and the government has proposed raising this to B for larger buildings (over 1,000 m²) from 2031.

As accredited assessors we are able to issue EPCs for all non-domestic buildings.
