2.1.10 Step 10. Perform compliance or BER analysis
When you are satisfied that the actual building model is defined as intended, click on the Analysis pane button ‘BRIRL: Part L compliance’ or ‘Generate BER’. The software will immediately begin the analysis.
The progress of the SBEMie calculation is indicated on the screen. Ignore any red text stating “Input file validated? – No” as this is only relevant to iSBEM.
In the case of compliance, results from the actual and notional buildings, together with data provided on the Building & System Data dialog, is then fed into the BRIRL compliance calculator. Results will be displayed on the Results tab.
In the case of BER analysis, results from the actual and reference buildings, together with data provided on the Building & System Data dialog, is fed into the BERGen analysis calculator.
When the process is complete a summary of the result of the compliance or BER analysis will be displayed on the Results tab, and you can click on a button to display the compliance document generated by BRIRL or BERGen.
An Advisory Report will also be produced using the details set in Building & Systems Data – dialog, BER Recommendations tab.
Click the View Advisory – button to launch the BER Advisory Report as a secure pdf.
