CPD Speaker Meeting (6th May 2026) - DesignBuilder Less Stressful and More Profitable SBEM Modelling

Bookings for this event will close 2 hours before the event.

Less Stressful and More Profitable SBEM Modelling

Pre-Booking is required.

This CPD session will be presented by Dr Renjith Jayapalan Nair the Comercial Operations Manager at DesignBuilder.

Assessors using iSBEM and similar 2D tools can spend 2-10x more time than necessary inputting geometry and model data. And they often find it difficult and time consuming to QA-check models effectively, leading to mistakes and audit issues.

This session will show you how to deliver SBEM EPCs at least 2x faster, and how you can QA-check your model much more easily and effectively. It will include a live demonstration using DesignBuilder, which is the most widely used commercial non-domestic EPC software for good reason.

What we'll cover:

• Building SBEM model geometry quickly using a visual 3-D workflow.
• Automated faster model data input that minimises errors.
• How to catch and fix errors before lodgement using visual QA tools.
• Live Q&A to answer your questions.

The practical demonstration will show you how to save time, improve confidence in your outputs, and reduce audit risk.

The session will be recorded if you can't join live. 

“The amount of time you save using DesignBuilder really is unbelievable. Give it a try!” Robert Horton, First Property Services

“DesignBuilder can process certificates up to 3x faster than using iSBEM.”  Michael Reilly, CADmeleon

“I switched to DesignBuilder 6 years ago and regret not doing it sooner. It’s reliable, intuitive, and is far superior to other tools I have used. Their support team is outstanding.”

Nick Cushing, Tudor Edward.

This is followed by an open floor discussion and networking session to close the meeting. Expect this to finish around 5:30 pm but allow some flexibility if you can as there is a lot to gained from the open discussions and networking at the end.

HOW IT WORKS - Please read carefully

You will be sent joining instructions and/or the relevant link ahead of the meeting. This is typically sent out about 1 day ahead of the event. For online events we generally use Zoom.

Around 24 hours ahead of the event you will receive a link to register for the event. You can do this any time from then until just before the meeting starts. Once you have registered you will receive the actual meeting link. Please ensure you register using your correct full name. This ensures you will get the right name on your CPD certificate (if applicable),

(If there is less than 24 hours to go, please check your junk / spam folder before contacting us to say you haven't received the link. It will probably be there. If it is not then do contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. but don't leave it to the last minute. Once we have started to set up for the session we will not be able to take calls or respond to emails).

Please also ensure you have tested your set up and both your audio and video are working. If we cannot see you are present we may not be able to issue you with a CPD certificate. If you know in advance that you will not have video capability, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will agree an alternative way in which the organisers can verify you were actually present (and hopefully paying attention) for the entire session.

If you need to briefly deal with something like an urgent phone call during the session, please turn your video off whilst you do so to avoid a distraction to other attendees. Video off for short periods of absence will not affect eligibility for CPD certificates. Prolonged periods of absence or where video is off so you could be absent, will prevent us being able to issue a CPD certificate. This verification of your presence is essential for us to ensure that the value of Proficiency CPD certificates is maintained so they can be accepted by accreditation schemes. 

(There are no refunds where CPD certificates cannot be issued due to only partial attendance at an event).
