SBEM for Commercial Existing Builds
Part L2B Compliance:
For existing commercial properties, SBEM calculations ensure compliance with Part L2B when alterations, extensions, or refurbishments are undertaken.
While minimum standards exist for:
- Building fabric
- Windows, doors, and rooflights
- Building services
Compliance can still be achieved if shortfalls are offset elsewhere to maintain overall performance.
Why do you Need an EPC?:
An EPC is required when selling, letting, or modifying an existing commercial building. It is valid for 10 years, unless significant changes occur that alter its performance.
