4 Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method BREEAM Introduction

5 What is BREEAM? World s longest established and most widely used environmental assessment method for buildings Created in 1988 and launched in 1990 Over 116,000 buildings certified, over 714,000 buildings registered Network of over 2200 independent licensed assessors across the world BREEAM What is BREEAM?

6 Development History 1990: Launch of BREEAM Offices 1991: Launch of BREEAM Industrial 1993: Launch of version for retail superstores 1998: Launch of BREEAM 98 Major overhaul of the schemes (current layout, weightings etc) : Annual update process Development of Bespoke BREEAM process Development of more schemes including International, refurbishment and community BREEAM Development History

7 Development History 2008: Major update Introduction of new schemes International development 17,000 worldwide public downloads of the new BREEAM 2008 Guidance Bettws Secondary School, Newport - EXCELLENT BREEAM Development History

8 BREEAM: Schemes Bespoke Courts EcoHomes Education Healthcare Industrial In-Use International Multi-residential Offices Prisons Retail Communities BREEAM Schemes

10 Carbon Emissions BREEAM & CSH: Context GB Homes Schools Colleges Public Buildings Non-domestic 80% emissions reduction in GB by BREEAM BREEAM & CSH: Context

11 Consequence of the 2008 update buildings registered buildings certified individuals trained BREEAM Consequence of 2008 Update

12 Consequence of the 2008 update UK and regional government aims Environmental = reduce environmental impacts Economic = create another industry and boost current Education = educate community Local authorities Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) Project investment Mandatory ratings to gain funding Project registration almost tripled between BREEAM Consequence of 2008 Update

13 BREEAM Aims Mitigate the impacts of buildings on the environment Enable buildings to be recognised according to their environmental benefits Provide a credible, environmental label for buildings Stimulate demand for sustainable buildings BREEAM Aims

14 BREEAM Objectives Provide market recognition Ensure best environmental practice Set criteria and standards surpassing regulations Challenge the market to reduce environmental impact Raise awareness of owners, occupants, designers and operators Allow organisations to demonstrate progress towards corporate environmental objectives BREEAM Objectives

15 Assessment Stages Design Stage To assess the design of new build, extension or major refurbishment Results in interim certificate Post Construction Stage - mandatory Ensures the completed building was constructed as specified in the D&P assessment Results in final certificate BREEAM Assessment Stages

16 General BREEAM Process Minimum Standards Energy Management Health & Well-being Water Waste Land Use & Ecology Tradable Credits Energy Water Materials Transport Waste Pollution Health & Well-being Management Land Use & Ecology Innovation Credits Exemplary Performance Requirements Approved Innovation Credits Category Scores Environmental Weighting Final Score Pass 30 Good 45 Very Good 55 Excellent 70 Outstanding 85 rating BREEAM General BREEAM Process

17 Credit Categories & Weighting Category BREEAM : Europe BREEAM : Gulf Management 12% 8% Health & Wellbeing 15% 15% Energy 19% 13% Transport 8% 6% Water 6% 30% Materials 12.5% 9% Waste 7.5% 5% Land Use & Ecology 10% 7% Pollution 10% 7% BREEAM Credit Categories & Weighting

18 Management 12% Commissioning Considerate Constructors scheme Construction site impacts CO 2 and energy monitoring, pollution and waste control Building user guide Site investigation Consultation Life cycle costing BREEAM Category - Management

19 Health & Wellbeing 15% Daylighting and uniformity Views out Glare control Good lighting Good air quality Openable windows Fresh air rates Thermal comfort Minimise legionella risk Good acoustic performance BREEAM Category - Health & Wellbeing

20 Energy 19% Reduce CO2 emissions Sub-metering of substantial uses Sub-metering by area / tenancy Efficient external lighting Low and zero carbon technologies Building fabric performance and infiltration Cold storage equipment where applicable Lifts, escalators where applicable BREEAM Category - Energy

21 Transport 8% Public transport links CO2 emissions of transport Provide cycling facilities Travel plan Proximity of local amenities Travel information point Deliveries and onsite safety Car parking BREEAM Category - Transport

22 Water 6% Reduce water use Water supply to WCs proximity detection Water meter Major leak detection and shut off to reduce leaks Water recycling Irrigation systems Vehicle wash BREEAM Category - Water

23 Materials 12.5% Low environmental impact Walls Roof Windows Structure Landscaping Boundary protection Insulation Responsibly sourced materials Reuse onsite structures and materials Robustness BREEAM Category - Materials

24 Waste 7.5% Site waste management plan Recycled aggregates Recycling in operation Robustness Composting Floor finishes BREEAM Category - Waste

25 Land Use & Ecology 10% Reuse previously developed land Reuse remediated land Protect ecological features Enhance and manage site ecology Long term impact on bio-diversity Wildlife partnerships BREEAM Category - Land Use & Ecology

26 Pollution 10% Reduce global warming potential Refrigerant leak detection Reduce air pollution - NOx emissions Reduce water pollution Minimise flood risk Reduce light pollution Noise attenuation BREEAM Category - Pollution

27 Innovation 10% Additional recognition for innovation in the field of sustainable performance, above and beyond what is currently recognised and rewarded in BREEAM Additional 1% to final score per BREEAM Innovation credit A maximum of 10 credits per project Available to any BREEAM rating level Three ways of obtaining Innovation Credits: 1. 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 3. Involvement of a BREEAM AP (Accredited Professional) or SQA (Suitably Qualified Assessor) from start of the project BREEAM Category - Innovation

28 BREEAM Impacts Financial User controlled blinds Bike racks affect building, environment, transport etc. Location & site Reduce environmental impact Re-fit, re-use of structures Contaminated land Transport public, parking etc. Regulations E.g.. High frequency lighting Water meters Early Implementation Site selection E.g. Public transport already in place, re-use of land BREEAM Impacts

29 BREEAM Europe BREEAM Europe officially launched on 4 th August 2008 Versions for three building types: Retail, Offices, Industrial, Toyota retail units, more to come Any other building type in Europe to be assessed through BREEAM Bespoke International Assessment options for shell and core buildings New schemes being developed BREEAM Europe

30 BREEAM Europe Scope of Europe: One set of criteria Balance between consistency of assessment and recognition of the local context Country-specific appendices National best practice standards/nationally acceptable standards BREEAM Europe

31 Key Objectives Maintain consistency and comparability with other BREEAM Same assessment methodology Same categories Minimum proportion of core issues Comparison against national baseline Measure improvement beyond national Building Regulations Use of national best practice standards or nationally acceptable BREEAM Key Objectives
