New Build SBEM & EPC Surrey

If you’re in need of New Build SBEMs and EPCs in Surrey or the surrounding areas, Clifton Energy have got you covered. When it comes to new build properties, they all require a Part L Document, which should be compiled at the start of the process in order to meet building regulations. Design stage SBEM calculations are required and need to be submitted to Building Control before any work starts on site. A construction SBEM calculation is needed within 30 days of completion of the building. This should all be carried out by a qualified assessor like the energy consultants at Clifton Energy, it’s also important that this is provided within 30 days of completion of the building, along with a construction EPC.

Part L covers the energy efficiency requirements of the building regulations, this includes…

• Part L1A – New Dwellings
• Part L1B – Existing Refurbishment & Extensions
• Part L2A- Non-Domestic New Buildings
• Part L2B – Non-Domestic Refurbishment & Extensions

The energy consultant will complete the compliance assessment through the specific plans and specifications that have been developed by the architect or construction developer. If compliance with Building Regulations isn’t achieved initially, the energy assessor will give advice on what can be improved to make sure that compliance is achieved in the most cost-effective way.

When the process has been completed, the assessor will provide you with a series of reports that can be passed on to building control and construction can then start.

Once the building construction is complete, a second assessment is required, this will be provided by the energy assessor and is necessary to ensure any deviations from the ‘design stage’ calculation is modelled and that compliance with the regulations in place is achieved.

The energy assessor will also be required to visit the property and will also ask for confirmation of items including the actual boiler installation, air pressure test score and any other changes that have occurred during the build process. The energy consultant will then be able to complete the EPC for the building and feed the data into the assessment software, the produce the EPC.
