VE-Navigator for UK Compliance

Guidance and facilitation in undertaking SBEM and DSM methodology analyses for Part L2 compliance checks and EPC generation

Our patented VE-Navigator technology provides you with a robust and detailed step-by-step structured workflow for Part L2 compliance and EPC generation for 2013 (England), 2014 (Wales) and 2010 (England/Wales).

  • England & Wales Compliance.
  • Part L2 2013 (England), 2014 (Wales) and 2010 (England/Wales) compliance checks.
  • 2013 (England), 2014 (Wales) and 2010 (England/Wales) EPC generation.
  • Both SBEM and/or DSM methodology.
  • Revolutionary easy to use step-by-step guidance from model setup, to data assignment, to simulation.
  • Concise reporting with interactive filters for easy interrogation.
  • Unique built-in QA functionality – design team collaboration and tracking.
  • Improved modelling efficiency and accuracy.
  • Significant time saving leading to rapid iteration.

This innovative tool streamlines the process and ensures no step is missed.The navigators provide:

  • Step-by-step guidance and instruction across compliance rules and process
  • Confidence that each key stage has been addressed
  • Unique reports which compare Notional and Actual models (DSM)
  • Identifies key areas where design ratings can be improved (DSM)
  • Unique built in QA functionality
    • Design team collaboration: add and share notes
    • Track team progress: date/user stamp check box
    • Integrated guidance notes
  • Analysis Automation

For both Part L2A 2013 & 2010 DSM the Navigator analyses the results of the regulations calculation and provides guidance to help streamline the design process to produce a minimally compliant building by providing two main outputs:

  • ‘Key model inputs comparison’
    • Quick check assessment for use at early project stages
    • Demonstrates whether you stand a good chance of passing or not
    • Clearly shows what level of efficiencies the project is likely to achieve
  • ‘Identify dominant issues for improvement’
    • Quickly achieve the efficiencies required for compliance
    • Tailored guidance on where to focus your efforts based on your design
    • Identifies which strategies will be the most effective in reducing dominant loads

Dependant on the route to compliance and whether the project is a level 3, 4 or 5 building the Navigators produce specific tailored reportage: 

  • Part L2A 2013 & 2010 SBEM
    • SBEM calculations summary
    • SBEM calculation details
    • BRUKL document
    • EPC
       
  • Part L2A 2013 & 2010 DSM
    • Pass Results (BER/TER)
    • Carbon dioxide emissions summary
    • Energy summary
    • Actual Building – carbon & energy breakdown (heat, cool, AUX, lights, DHW)
    • Actual System – carbon & energy breakdown
    • Notional System – carbon & energy breakdown
    • Notional Building – carbon & energy breakdown
    • Criterion 3 solar gain check
    • BRUKL document
    • EPC
