Currently completing an SBEM with retail units that have a toilet, kitchen and eating area. Kitchen and Toilet area has no heating or cooling in it and the restaurant eating area has heat pumps so there should be a notional heating value within the compliance report?
Getting the Part L to Pass, however looking at the report there is no notional heating value but there is an actual heating value present. Cooling values also seem fine.
Tried it without Heat recovery and any ventilation and that seems to bring the heating value to a reasonable level, thought it could be the angle from north as to why there is no notional heat value. Is there an issue with my model?
Thanks
Josh
Hi Josh,
When you say there is no Notional value, what do you mean exactly - is it being shown as zero, or just blank? Also, are you referring to the 'Energy Consumption by End Use' section of the Compliance report?
