&lt;p&gt;The Bentley Hevacomp PartL program does not perform the PartL/SBEM calculation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Method&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;The processes involved in the creation of Energy Performance Certificates and Part L&amp;nbsp;Compliance documents originate from the European&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color:#1e90ff;"&gt;&lt;a title="European Performance of Buildings Directive" href="http://www.eceee.org/policy-areas/buildings/EPBD_Recast/EPBD_recast_19May2010.pdf"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#1e90ff;"&gt;Energy&amp;nbsp;Performance of Buildings Directive,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; which&amp;nbsp;set out&amp;nbsp;requirements in relation to measuring energy usage in buildings.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:center;" title="European Performance of Buildings Directive"&gt;&amp;quot;The NCM allows the actual calculation to be carried out either by an approved simulation software or by a simplified tool based on a set of CEN standards. &lt;br /&gt;That tool has been developed for DCLG by BRE and is called SBEM - Simplified Building Energy Model&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align:justify;" title="European Performance of Buildings Directive"&gt;Bentley Hevacomp&amp;#39;s PartL program is an interface into the SBEM calculation engine.&amp;nbsp;The PartL program generates a correctly formatted input file that is passed into the SBEM calculation engine.
