2.4.10 Step 10. Perform compliance or EPC analysis
When you are satisfied that the actual building model is defined as intended, click on the Analysis pane button ‘CO2 Emissions: Part L compliance’ or ‘Generate EPC’. The software will immediately begin the analysis.
The progress of the SBEM 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 BRUKL compliance calculator. Results will be displayed on the Results tab.
In the case of EPC analysis, results from the actual and reference buildings, together with data provided on the Building & System Data dialog, is fed into the EPCGen analysis calculator.
When the process is complete a summary of the result of the compliance or EPC analysis will be displayed on the Results tab, and you can click on a button to display the compliance document generated by BRUKL or EPCGen.
A Recommendation Report will also be produced using the details set in Building & Systems Data – dialog, EPC Recommendations tab.
Click the View Recommendation – button to launch the EPC Recommendations as a secure pdf.
