Part L BRUKL & SBEM
Building Regulations UK Part L (BRUKL) reports are produced for all new non-domestic buildings to show compliance with Part L2A of the Building Regulations for the conservation of fuel and power. They are used to predict a new building’s energy efficiency. All new non-domestic buildings require a BRUKL report before construction starts, and depending on the size, they may also be required for extensions. Get in touch with our expert Level 5 energy assessors for more information on whether your project requires a BRUKL report, and also with the production of the necessary documentation.
For more information and advice on how to ensure your project passes regulations get in touch today.

Our expert assessors work use Simplified Building Energy Model (SBEM) calculations as part of the BRUKL report compilation. We work closely with you to ensure your design and project achieve compliance.
Part L Reports & SBEM Calculations
Once contracted, in order to complete Part L calculations for a new commercial building, the designer’s drawings, plans, and specifications are first sent to one of kW Energy Consultants’ accredited assessors. Suggestions to improve the energy efficiency of the designs will be discussed if required. This is why it is vital that Part L calculations are completed early in the design process. They allow any potential issues to be identified and corrected early on, minimising costly redesigns or retrofit improvements later in the process.
The Stages of Part L Calculations
​
Four key stages exist:
-
As-Designed Draft
-
As-Designed Final
-
As-Built Draft
-
As-Built Final
The As-Designed stage is required in order for building to commence. This version of the Part L report shows the predicted results of the building based on the design specification provided. The As-Built calculations are carried out on completion and are based on what has been built. They are needed for the completion certificate and EPC to be issued.
Our experienced energy assessors are skilled in SBEM calculations and can assist in modelling your building and producing the required Part L reports. Contact kW Energy Consultants Ltd for a quote that fits your project complexity or size in regards to SBEM calculation costs.
