Sample Assessment

Post by timjames100 »

I have been using iSBEM for years, but am trying to migrate over to ies. Is there a simple building set up with results to test data input against, as the ies interface is obviously much more complex and I am slightly worried that my data is not completely accurate. For example trying to set up glazing data in IES based on typically available FENSA certificates is clearly a problem from the number of posts I have seen, and this is an important part of the process.

Hi,

I have some approval models that were created for Part L2 FI-SBEM validation tests but am afraid I wouldn't be able to share these with you. The reason I mention these is that the approval process demands you build these test cases in your FI-SBEM software and then match results form the pre-built iSBEM versions so I know the software meets these checks.

What I'd suggest if you are interested is to try to obtain the iSBEM approval test models yourself and then attempt to build the VE versions to go through the process, they are fairly simple but it does sound like this is what you wanted.

Another option that should help you here is our Part L2 training, we offer a range of training on L2 DSM (Apache) and SBEM that would go through the entire process of building a model, defining the data and running the analysis, even with years of experience in SBEM this should still provide you with some confidence when using VE.
