SBEM Calculations for Commercial New Builds & Conversions
Do you need a professional and compliant SBEM Report for your project?
Starki Building Performance provides SBEM calculations for non-domestic buildings across Wales and the UK — helping developers, architects, and business owners stay compliant with Part L2 of the Building Regulations.
Delivered under our expert-led white-label service, our SBEM assessments ensure you meet energy standards and obtain valid EPCs for your commercial projects.
Trusted by developers and private clients across the UK.
What Is SBEM?
SBEM (Simplified Building Energy Model) is the government-approved method for assessing energy performance in non-domestic buildings.
It calculates the energy usage and carbon emissions of a commercial property and generates:
✅ A BRUKL Report for Building Control
✅ A non-domestic EPC
✅ Design-stage and as-built assessments
SBEM is required at both design and completion stages.
When Is SBEM Required?
You’ll need SBEM calculations for:
🏭 New build commercial premises (offices, retail units, community centres, etc.)
🏗️ Material change of use involving non-domestic space
🛠️ Refurbishments or extensions that affect energy performance
🧾 EPCs for sale or lease of commercial buildings
If your building is over 50m² and not a dwelling, SBEM applies.

FAQ
What is the difference between SBEM and SAP?
SAP is used for domestic (residential) buildings, while SBEM is for non-domestic buildings. Both assess energy efficiency but use different software and standards.
Do I need both SBEM and EPC?
SBEM produces the BRUKL report and supports the generation of a non-domestic EPC. We’ll provide both as part of our service.
How quickly can I get my SBEM calculations?
Typically, design-stage reports are turned around within 48–72 hours, depending on complexity and documentation.
Can you do SBEM calculations remotely?
Yes. We work with clients across the UK. You’ll just need to provide your architectural plans and building spec, and we’ll handle the rest.
