Does my building require SBEM?

All new commercial buildings constructed after 7th April 2006 require an SBEM calculation.  Extensions to existing commercial buildings, where the total useful floor area is greater than 100m2 and greater than 25% of the total useful floor area of the existing building, also require an SBEM calculation.
