Commercial Property

SBEM Calculations

All new commercial buildings require an energy assessment to be carried out at the"design" stage and submitted with your building control submission. When your building is complete the building control officer will need confirmation of the"as built" calculations in order to sign off the building. We use Carbon Checker and Simplified Building Energy Model (SBEM) software to achieve this and can provide solutions to help you comply with building regulations. 

Energy Performance Certificates for commercial property

Almost all buildings will require an EPC on construction, sale or rent. These certificates aim to give the prospective buyer or tenant an indication of the energy efficiency of the building; they also provide recommendations on how it might be improved. Rated from"A" to"G" an"A" rating building will have lower energy consumption and carbon emissions than a"G".
