11th December 2007: SBEM Technical Manual
The SBEM Technical manual looks at the requirement for a calculation methodology for the UK that complies with Article 3 of the EPBD, which has developed into the National Calculation Methodology. It describes which draft prEN and CEN standards have been used to develop a calculation procedure, and how one particular implementation (SBEM) has been designed to satisfy these requirements.
The purpose of this document is to record the detail of the various calculation procedures adopted within SBEM, comprising, for each:
- The input data required
- The source of each data item
- The assumptions made
- The calculation algorithm(s) used
- The source of those algorithms
- The output data generated
- A commentary on the strengths and weaknesses of the approach adopted
