An SBEM or Simplified Building Energy Model, is a Government led process in accordance with UK Building Regulations Part L2 which calculates the energy performance of new commercial buildings. Buildings covered under Part L2 include any building which is not a dwelling and therefore could be an Industrial Warehouse, School, Hotel, Office or even a University Halls of Residence. Introduced in April 2007, SBEM Calculations are now required on all new commercial buildings to achieve Building Control sign off. They are also  required for extensions to commercial property and on extensive refurbishment works too.

There are 2 stages in acquiring an SBEM Calculation. The first stage is named the "Design stage". Which must be completed and submitted to the Building Control Officer or Approved inspector at the same time as your building control application. The second stage is the "As Built" stage, this will come into force on completion and a "Pass" certificate will have to be produced to the Inspector. In most cases on completion an Energy Performance Certificate will also be required to complete the process.
