1 day course plus on-line study, including 1 months free use of DesignBuilder SBEM software for only £250

The DesignBuilder 1 day SBEM course is suitable for energy assessors wishing to use the DesignBuilder SBEM software to generate and lodge EPCs in UK and BERs in Ireland and/or carry out Part-L building regulation compliance checks (Section 6) in Scotland. 

The old DesignBuilder 2 day training course has been restructured to keep costs down and the first day which covers creating building geometry is now available through a series of on-line video tutorials, which are completed before attending the 1 day-training course in Milton Keynes.

Please note: all the "Basic Geometry" tutorials must be completed before attending the training in order to get the best out of the training and consequent use of the software.

Reduced Training Costs:

• 1-day training course - £250 + VAT including 1 months free use of SBEM software. Confirmation must be sent to DesignBuilder that the "Basic Geometry" video tutorials have been completed before attendance. You should allow about 5 hours including practice time.

The training day in Milton Keynes covers:

• Key Features of National Calculation method and SBEM
• Definitions in SBEM
• Where to find information
• Inputting required data using DesignBuilder interface
• More efficient data input using templates and data inheritance
• How to produce EPCs and BRUKL Reports
• How to amend and comment on recommendations report
• Model building exercises
• Producing and EPC and BRUKL report for a specified building

Energy Assessors must undertake approved training in the software tool they wish to use to produce EPCs - this course does just that at a competitive price and includes 1 months free use of SBEM software. Book a course
