Description
SBEM, the Simplified Building Energy Model, is a tool for calculating the energy used by a non-domestic building. It has been developed in response to the requirements of the EU's Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).
This information paper will help designers, building services engineers, facilities managers and building control officers to understand what SBEM is and how it works as a core energy calculation tool. It also describes an interface tool (iSBEM) for presenting the resulting data and a tool (BRUKL) for checking for compliance with the requirements of the EPBD.
This document:
*Gives a clear explanation of how SBEM works when carrying out building regulation compliance checks and energy ratings
*Describes the basis of SBEM, the input information it requires, from where this information is derived, and which energy consumption issues are included
*Considers use of SBEM for other applications outside the compliance checks.
