Delivering compliant, high-performance buildings through robust SBEM analysis.
SBEM (Simplified Building Energy Model) is the UK Government’s approved methodology for assessing the energy performance of non-domestic building and demonstrating compliance with Building Regulations Part L2.
MES Building Solutions provides SBEM calculations, compliance modelling, and commercial EPCs, supporting projects from early design through to completion. Our approach focuses on achieving compliance efficiently while informing better building performance, operational energy use, and carbon outcomes.
We work collaboratively with design teams to integrate energy strategy early, reduce compliance risk, and streamline approval with Building Control.
Fabric & Systems Strategy
Advice on building fabric, glazing, HVAC systems, and lighting design to support compliance and improve performance
SBEM Calculations
Accurate SBEM modelling to produce BRUKL outputs demonstrating compliance with regulatory targets
Energy & Carbon Analysis
Assessment of Building Emission Rate (BER) against Target Emissions Rate (TER) to optimise design efficiency
EPC Production
Production and lodgement of EPCs for non-domestic buildings in line with regulatory requirements
Why SBEM & Part L Compliance Matters
SBEM is a key tool in designing and delivering energy-efficient commercial buildings that meet regulatory and sustainability expectations.
Engaging early allows design teams to refine building fabric and services, reduce carbon emissions, and avoid costly changes later in the project.
