As Built SBEM / EPC for Commercial Buildings
As Built SBEM calculations and Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are essential for verifying the energy performance of commercial buildings once construction is complete. At Melin Energy Consultants, we provide accurate, compliant commercial EPCs that reflect the as-built condition, helping building owners, developers, and occupiers meet Part L regulations and demonstrate energy efficiency.
What Is an As Built SBEM / EPC?
An As Built SBEM calculation models the energy use of a commercial property based on its actual construction and installed building services. This includes heating, cooling, lighting, ventilation, and renewable energy systems. The results form the basis for an EPC, assigning a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and showing compliance with UK energy regulations.
Why As Built SBEM / EPC Matters
Accurate as-built calculations ensure your commercial building meets regulatory requirements, avoids fines, and provides a reliable benchmark for operational energy performance. These EPCs are critical for leasing, sale, or occupancy, as they demonstrate energy efficiency, inform running costs, and support sustainability initiatives.
Who Requires an As Built SBEM / EPC?
All commercial properties, from offices and retail units to warehouses and industrial buildings, need an EPC when construction is finished or if the building is sold or rented. Since April 2023, rental properties must meet a minimum EPC rating of E, with future targets set at C by 2027 and B by 2030 to ensure energy efficiency and regulatory compliance.
Our As Built SBEM / EPC Process
We gather as-built construction details, specifications, and building services information.
Where necessary, our accredited assessors visit the property to confirm details and collect additional data.
Using specialist software, we produce accurate as-built energy modelling reflecting the completed building.
A full Energy Performance Certificate is produced and lodged on the government register, ready for compliance verification or handover.
Optional guidance on improving energy performance and reducing operational costs is provided.
