SBEM 6.1.e Patch01

Modified on Fri, 3 May at 12:37 PM

This patch is required only for DesignBuilder v7.1.4.005 for English BRUKL calculations in which the building has a District Heating System. It is not required for v7.2.0.032 or later releases.

  • It is required for both SBEM and DSM
  • It is not required for EPC calculations whether or not the building has an EPC System.
  • It does not affect the calculation, only the checks on the BRUKL

The BRUKL for a building without the patch might contain this:



The BRUKL with the patch would then look like this:



This affects a change in the requirements in which the Primary Energy Factor for the District Heating Network is not checked (though it will still be used in determining the BPER and thus have an impact on overall compliance)
