7 Mandatory Credits (Minimum Standards) Aims: To avoid that a building achieves an Excellent rating, but does not achieve compliance with straightforward BREEAM issues e.g. storage of recyclable waste or installation of a water meter. Comparability across different schemes and BREEAM buildings The higher the BREEAM rating the more mandatory requirements there are and progressively harder they become.

9 Innovation Credits Additional recognition for innovation in the field of sustainable performance, above and beyond what is currently recognised and rewarded in BREEAM Two ways of obtaining Innovation Credits: 1. By meeting exemplary level performance requirements for an existing BREEAM issue 2. Where an application is made to BRE Global to have a particular building feature or process recognised as innovative

11 BREEAM 2008 Update: In detail New Schemes breeam:education

12 Existing BREEAM Schools Assessors / New BREEAM Education Further Assessors Education (from Sept (DRAFT) 08) BREEAM Schools Assessors Education BREEAM Schools Bespoke Assessors BREEAM Further Education BREEAM Higher Education (?)

13 BREEAM Education BREEAM Education will be used to assess the following types of buildings: Schools (primary and secondary) Further education colleges Sixth form colleges Vocational facilities This includes new and refurbished education buildings and extensions within or part of a larger education development. Minster Secondary School and Sixth Form Southwell, Nottinghamshire On course for a rating of Very Good

14 BREEAM Education s scope General teaching spaces Catering Retail Sports facilities Admin and Support Outdoor areas Special Educational Needs Nurseries Specialist areas (drama studios, labs, IT, etc.) FE colleges: Large-scale visual arts and multi-media recording studios, e.g. sculpture/photography Trade-based workshops, e.g. salons, bricklaying, carpentry etc. Independent living workshops N.B. Standalone facilities must be assessed using Bespoke BREEAM

15 BREEAM Education s scope The scheme does not cover: Higher education / university buildings However, BRE Global is developing a tool (out for consultation now) for HE buildings Due in Spring 2009

16 DCSF s requirement All major new build and refurbishment projects valued at: over 500k for primary schools, over 2m for secondary schools, where more than 10% of the floor area of a school is affected The Department expects all these schemes to achieve at least a VERY GOOD rating using the BREEAM Schools Methodology.

17 LSC s requirement To qualify for LSC (Learning Skills Council) capital funds all proposals need to address Sustainable Development by: Meeting and preferably exceeding Part L of Building Regulations Meeting the criteria to achieve Excellent BREEAM ratings Maximising the use of natural lighting and ventilation and embedding the principles of sustainability in the design of buildings and building systems The LSC will allow an additional 6% of building costs to be ring fenced and used for Sustainable Development

18 The price of sustainable schools BRE and Faithful+Gould funded by BRE Trust and DCSF Putting a price on sustainable schools BRE Trust (A Surgenor and I Butterss, 2008) Capital cost implications of achieving BREEAM Schools ratings and low/zero carbon for: Primary school Secondary school available from BRE bookshop 25

19 Summary of results Percentage increase in capital cost to achieve a BREEAM rating: Pass Good Very Good Excellent Zero/low carbon Primary school Secondary school

20 BREEAM In Use WHY EXISTING BUILDINGS? BREEAM Historically used in new build sector Renewal of building stock is just 1% per year Greatest opportunity is in existing stock

21 Basic Attributes Quick and simple Detailed information to be added over time Separate the physical characteristics from how the building is managed Integrates Energy Performance Certificates and Display Energy Certificates

22 Basic Attributes Allow assessments of portfolios and / or individual buildings Supports and builds on existing reporting systems Flexibility to accommodate buildings internationally independent certification link to other databases / benchmarking systems
