What is BREEAM In-Use? Environmental assessment method for existing non-domestic buildings. Easy-to-use assessment methodology and independent certification process On-going assessment method for continual improvements. Help improve environmental performance and building management
Why is BREEAM In-Use important? Majority of global building stocks made up of existing buildings, major opportunity to reduce their environmental impact. Allows assessment of buildings at: 1. Asset level 2. Building management level 3. Occupier level, providing an overall picture of environmental performance. Assists in identifying parts of a property portfolio/building that are underperforming and may require refurbishment.
BREEAM In-Use Assessment Sections: Asset Performance (Part 1) Assessment of the structure of the building and fixtures and fittings Building Management (Part 2) Assessment of how the building is managed (facility management) Occupier Management (Part 3) Assessment of the organisation s overall policies and activities that are conducted within the building

Verified / Unverified Outputs Once the questionnaire is completed, a final score is generated by category and part This unverified data outlines: 1. How the asset is performing, 2. Highlights areas for improvement 3. Can be used to manage performance These outputs can then be certified with the use of a BREEAM In-Use licensed Assessor The Assessor conducts an audit of the information and evidence that has been provided and ensures it meets the BREEAM In-Use standard Once verified, a certification can be requested by the assessor

Certificate Renewal Certificates are valid for a period of one year If no significant changes have been made, Part 1 and Part 2 certificates can be renewed 2 years (following initial certification) If significant changes have been made, recertification must be undertaken to maintain certificated Part 3 certificates requires annual recertification Recertification shows on-going commitment to BREEAM In-Use and allows for benchmarking and comparison
Introduction to the BREEAM In-Use Online System The BREEAM In-Use online system is used to: Assess an asset using the BREEAM In-Use questionnaire Group assets into common building portfolios to allow comparisons View a dynamic scoring platform Request BREEAM In-Use certification Key Performance Indicators Compare portfolio performance

Uptake of existing building certification 75% of existing building inuse certification in Europe is assessed to BREEAM In-Use certification. Source: RICs publication Going for Green Sustainable building certification statistics Europe September 2013
BREEAM In-Use Statistics Statistics are available at www.breeam.org/inuse Statistics include: Assets certificated by country Age of assets certificated Asset certificated by building type Ratings achieved by age of building
