SBEM Calculations

SBEM Calculations

What is it?
SBEM (Simplified Building Energy Model) calculations assess the energy performance of non-domestic spaces — often needed for mixed-use residential developments where commercial elements are included.

Why it’s important
Accurate SBEM calculations are required for Building Regulations compliance and can influence planning approval. They ensure the commercial aspects of your development meet Part L energy efficiency requirements.

Why RedSix
We specialise in mixed-use projects, delivering SBEM assessments alongside SAP for a joined-up approach. Our team ensures both residential and non-residential spaces meet their respective standards without unnecessary duplication of effort.

Do I need SBEM if my development is mostly residential?

Only if it contains commercial or communal non-domestic spaces.

Can you do SBEM and SAP together?

Yes, it’s more efficient and ensures consistency across your project.

How quickly can you deliver SBEM results?

Often within days, depending on project complexity.
