Part L2 (2010) VE-SBEM Results
This tab on the dialog at the lower edge of the VE Compliance screen allows you to view the results of Part L2 (2010) calculations.
Compliance:
Building Emissions Rate (BER)
The Building Emissions Rate (kgCO2/m2) calculated for the actual building.
Notional Building Emissions Rate
The Building Emissions Rate (kgCO2/m2) calculated for the notional building (Cnotional).
Target Emissions Rate (TER)
The 2010 Target Emission Rate is the 2010 Notional building emission rate.
Did the analysis pass the CO2 emissions rating?
The pass/fail result for Criterion 1. ‘YES’ if BER<TER, ‘NO’ otherwise.

Extra output files
Two further output files are copied to the project’s Regs\Part L2\SBEM\BRUKL folder and may be of interest. Both are in comma-separated format.
· <buildingname>_not_sim.csv The calculation details for the Notional building
· <buildingname>_dr.csv The data reflection report for the Actual building
EPC:
Part L TER
The Target Building Emissions Rate, derived from the Notional Building Emissions Rate (Cnotional)
Standard
The Standard Emission Rate (SER), calculated as the Reference Emissions Rate (calculated by SBEM for the Reference Building during an EPC calculation) multiplied by an improvement factor of 0.765.
Cstandard = Creference x (1 – 0.235)
Actual BER
The Building Emissions Rate calculated for the Actual Building.
Asset Rating
The ratio of the Actual emission to the Standard emission, where 50 corresponds to a 1:1 ratio:
EPC Rating = (Cactual / Cstandard ) × 50
The band letter and colour corresponding to this (as also shown on the EPC) is shown under the Actual emission figure.
The Part L and Typical bands are also shown, based on similar formulae (the numerical rating values are shown on the EPC).
Part LRating = (CTER / Cstandard ) × 50

Extra Output Files
Two further output files are copied to the project’s Regs\SBEM\EPC folder and may be of interest. Both are in comma-separated format.
· <buildingname>_not_sim.csv The calculation details for the Notional building
· <buildingname>_dr.csv The data reflection report for the Actual building
In this folder you will also see a secondary, more detailed, Recommendations Report PDF and the XML file to be lodged in official databases.
