 Posted: Fri May 06, 2011 9:43 am Post subject: Crazy Benchmarks on EPC |
 |
|
Hi, I am running an EPC on a property and whilst the rest of the draft certificate looks as expected (G rating of 155 for a building with night storage and virtually no insulation) I am getting some very strange Benchmarks in the bottom right hand corner:
If Newly Built: 309
If Typical of Existing Stock: 823
Has anyone else had this issue? Can anyone suggest any likely errors or is it a glitch in the latest iSBEM?
Thanks |

As these are generated for each building then we'd need to take a look at your dsb file. You can attach it here or (for greater privacy) use the support desk

Hi
I think that my accrediting body should have forwarded you the file (2 and a half storey terraced building) and have told me you have someone looking into it on Monday. Let me know if this is news to you and I'll send it over.
Thanks

We've had a Taunton building from stroma which matches your spec and I await their reply. I would imagine that it would be easier to answer you directly rather than through your accreditation scheme.
Regards
Andrew

Hi Andrew
Just a quick update on this one. My accreditation body have apparently run the building in iSBEM and have not had the same Benchmarking errors, and therefore will not let me lodge the epc in DesignBuilder. Unfortunately they will not release the iSBEM nct file to me to lodge the file myself as they did not inspect the building!
I understand that there is a funding issue with any further BRE updates to the SBEM software, but is there anything that can be done about this?
Any help is appreciated.
Regards |

I took another look at your file since you last posted and identified the problem (which is due to some assumptions being made about your semi-exposed walls). There will be a new release by the end of the week which will fix it.
Thanks for pointing this out.
Regards
Andrew

Sorry, we had another mod to make this afternoon which we wanted to incorporate in the same 'build'. Hope to have a setup file for you on Monday.
Regards
Andrew
