Course Overview

This course provides a structured, practical guide to assessing Part L compliance for Ireland using the VE Compliance application within the IES Virtual Environment (IESVE), in line with the SBEMie methodology. It is designed for practitioners who need a clear understanding of how Irish regulatory requirements are implemented within VE workflows.

You’ll be guided step by step through the key modelling tasks required for compliance, including creating and assigning constructions, defining building types, and applying compliant building systems and renewable technologies. The course demonstrates how to use building templates, tabular space data, and the room query tool to assign and check data at either whole‑building or space‑by‑space level, depending on project needs. These inputs combine to generate BRIRL, and BER outputs, supporting accurate energy ratings and regulatory submissions.

Integrated quizzes allow you to test your understanding as you progress, reinforcing key concepts and processes used in Part L Ireland assessments. Enrol now to strengthen your compliance modelling skills and streamline your regulatory workflows.
