The completed document can then be used by the Assessor along with all relevant project documentation to assess for compliance with the BREEAM, CEEQUAL or HQM ecology assessment criteria. The methodology is based on compliance modelling and uses a triple metric approach that addresses energy demand, energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. The aim of using this approach is to enhance the ability of BREEAM to recognise and promote designs that minimise energy demand and consumption in buildings and then to reduce the carbon emissions resulting from that energy use. Guidance Note 39 sets out the new approach. It outlines at which plan of works stage credits should be addressed and ideally when these should be considered by the design team, planner, contractors, owners, occupiers and other members of the project team to achieve the highest possible BREEAM rating at the minimum cost. It demonstrates that where BREEAM advice is taken on too late within the design and construction phases a number of BREEAM credits may not be achieved or only at additional cost or disruption. It forms a part of that scheme’s technical manual, which means the methodology and process described are an integral part of the scheme assessment criteria. One aim of BREEAM is to encourage all those involved in the building design, construction, commissioning, facilities management and operation to take practical steps to close this performance gap. To this end, Guidance Note 32 describes the energy performance prediction and subsequent post-occupancy monitoring methodology for the BREEAM UK New Construction 2018 scheme. It outlines at which RIBA stage credits should be addressed and ideally considered by the design team, planner, contractors, owners, occupiers and other members of the project team to achieve the highest possible BREEAM rating at the minimum cost.

It demonstrates that where BREEAM advice is taken on too late within the design and construction phases a number of BREEAM credits may not be achieved. Thus some actions will have to be completed at a later RIBA stage than indicated in this document. However, early decisions can create opportunities and minimise barriers that impact on the ability of project teams to meet BREEAM criteria at a later stage in the project. It outlines at which stage of work credits should be addressed and ideally when these should be considered by the design team, planner, contractors, owners, occupiers and other members of the project team to achieve the highest possible BREEAM rating at the minimum cost. It demonstrates that where BREEAM advice is taken on too late within the design and construction phases a number of BREEAM credits may not be achieved. It outlines at which RIBA stage assessment issues should be considered and addressed by the project team, client and other stakeholders to achieve the highest possible BREEAM rating for the best value. It demonstrates that where BREEAM and BREEAM-related advice is considered or acted on too late within the design and construction phase, the opportunity to achieve a more sustainable development is reduced and a number of assessment credits may not be achieved. This template can be used by the BREEAM Assessor and the appropriate consultant as supporting evidence for their assessment of the building and award of BREEAM credits.

It provides guidance on the areas where assessment under one method can result in efficiencies in assessment under another. It outlines how certified BREEAM USA In-Use credits may be used to demonstrate compliance with Fitwel and identifies areas where design teams can demonstrate compliance using the same evidence for both programs. This guidance note is to be used for registered BREEAM UK New Construction 2014 and International New Construction 2016 assessments, where an ecologist has been appointed by the client and they have produced an ecology report for the proposed development. It provides guidance on the areas where assessment under one method can result in efficiencies in assessment under the other. It outlines how credits awarded in a certified BREEAM assessment may be used to demonstrate compliance with WELL features post occupation and identifies areas where project teams can demonstrate compliance using the same evidence for both schemes. Through BREEAM, BRE has encouraged a more whole building level consideration of materials through the use of robust and science-based approaches and BRE’s Green Guide ratings and Environmental Profiles Certification scheme have been at the forefront of the environmental assessment of the built environment using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). However, the current focus on whole building LCAs reflects a strategic shift in the approach taken in sustainability assessment of the built environment within the BREEAM family, and the implications of this shift on the future of Green Guide ratings and Environmental Profiles Certification are described in this document. This involved the development of a new, independently peer reviewed, weightings methodology that has subsequently been implemented to derive new consensus-based category weightings for use in recently updated BREEAM schemes operated by BRE Global.
http://www.bosport.be/newsletter/92-mr2-service-manual
It provides a means of regularly reviewing weightings in a way that ensures a high level of transparency A recent analysis of assessment data showed that BREEAM assessed buildings achieve an average 22 reduction in CO2 emissions, and over the next five years, BRE has committed to work with industry to deliver over 9,000 certified buildings with emissions savings in excess of 900,000 tonnes of CO2. Since the first scheme was launched to address the design and construction of offices in 1990, improving indoor environmental quality and occupant health has been one of the main objectives of BREEAM. One of the greatest drivers we’re now seeing in the UK is the introduction of regulatory Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards. We also touch on some of the wider sustainability considerations lenders may wish to take into account and the value creation opportunities they offer. Through the assessment and certification process, the standard recognises and reflects the performance of the building once improvements have been made to the external envelope, structure, core services, local services or interior design of a building. The standard includes specific assessment criteria for heritage buildings that take into account the constraints on these types of projects. Once an Assessor has been appointed, and early appointment is recommended, they will undertake a number of site visits. These visits typically occur at least once during the design stage and once just after the building has been refurbished or fitted out. The assessor requires evidence to support the design and refurbishment work decisions for the performance claimed, agreed during the design of the project, and checks they have been fully implemented so that the benefits of the schemes application can be realised. Please view the Technical Standards Tool to find out which new construction standard is applicable within your country.

The study uses real project cost information to calculate the effect on capital costs of achieving Pass, Good, Very Good and Excellent ratings. The study also considers the life cycle savings that might arise as a result of reduced energy and water use in these properties. The full results of this research were recently published in the BRE publication Delivering Sustainable Buildings: Savings and Payback. The launch of BREEAM 2014 has resulted in a series of changes to the assessment method and credit requirements.
Only a small proportion of the more than 120 credits in the BREEAM 2011 scheme are suitable for generic monetary quantification of their benefits or payback. Many of the most important benefits associated with achieving specific BREEAM standards are relatively intangible (for example, acoustic performance or daylighting) 1 or address the wider externalities associated with the building and its construction and, by definition, do not directly result in savings to the developer or occupier. Ultimately, the purpose of the development, be it a city centre office or a business park, will influence the approach to certification and the value obtained from targeting specific credit areas. Some building occupiers are increasingly sophisticated and expect to see high BREEAM standards and are even influenced by the nature of the credits targeted (for example, expecting to see a focus on those that offer additional benefits to them). In other situations there is relatively little occupier awareness of what building certifications generally signify and the only real driver is that a minimum planning expectation is achieved in the most cost effective manner. Any form of cost benchmark, can only provide an indicative assessment of the likely costs that might occur on an individual project and should be treated as such. Securing higher BREEAM ratings doesresult in some additional capital expenditure, but is likely to be less than 2 and in a “typical” location would be 1 or less. The potential payback on these additional costs is only two-to-five years through utility cost savings 2. A very small reduction in yield (for example, from 5.1 to 5.0) would be sufficient to significantly outweigh the costs of achieving an Excellent rating even on a difficult site. Most of the changes are relatively minor “tweaks” to the previous guidance, to reflect improvements in industry practice and bring them in-line with current Building Regulations.

However, there are some key changes in credit application and weightings, the scope of key credit areas together with the introduction of new credit criteria for different aspects of building design, construction and performance, which are worth further discussion. Credit weighting and application The first point to note is the change in relative weightings of the different credit categories. The overall contribution of the Energy section has reduced from 19 to 15 with the relative value of credits in the Transport, Water, Materials and Waste categories each increasing by 1. The change in section weightings reduces the relative importance of Energy credits, and means that they contribute less to the overall score than previously. In addition to reduced overall contribution to the final rating, the approach to several of the key Energy related aspects of BREEAM changes in 2014. If a fully fitted out BREEAM certification is required, then a separate additional assessment must be undertaken for the fit out works under the imminent BREEAM Non-Domestic Refurbishment and Fit Out scheme. Ene 1 Called Reduction of emissions in BREEAM 2011; this credit area is now called Reduction of energy use and carbon emissions, revealing a key change in philosophy. The focus has now moved towards a “fabric first” approach, in line with the updated Building Regulations Part L 2013, by calculating the score solely on the energy performance ratio (EPR) and removing the requirement for a percentage reduction in regulated CO2 emissions. Ene 4 This credit area is now called Low carbon design, rather than Low and Zero Carbon (LZC) technologies. Credits for a percentage reduction in CO2 emissions have been removed, and new credits relating to consideration and implementation of passive design and free cooling strategies have been introduced. Again, this demonstrates a shift towards promoting a “fabric first” approach over and above the introduction of LZC’s.
Mat 6 A credit area has been in introduced called Material efficiency. Credits in this area aim to encourage project teams to “identify, investigate and implement measures to optimise material use at all stages of the project”. They are only required to implement those that are “appropriate” to a scheme and so the only definitive cost is that associated with the investigations within the project team. Waste Two credit areas have been introduced in the waste section: Wst 05 Adaptation to climate change and Wst 06 Functional adaptability. These have been created to promote design and construction of buildings that are resilient to climate change, and to encourage measures taken to accommodate changes of use over a building’s lifespan. However, it is valuable to assess whether the changes to the weightings, the scope of existing credit areas and the introduction of credit areas has a material impact on the sorts of costs that might be expected for achieving higher ratings. Analysis of an identical office specification using both the 2011 and 2014 scoring and reporting tools showed that an approach that would have achieved an Excellent rating (70.55) against 2011 would achieve just under the Excellent threshold (68.60) if assessed under 2014. The key reasons for this are: Ene 1 The outputs from the same BRUKL document were used to calculate the credits achieved. Therefore, there is no need to tighten the building specification in a 2014 assessment (as the “same” BREEAM performance is achieved anyway), so no additional capital expenditure should be incurred. The difference in score contribution results from the reduction in the category weighting, which is compensated by the increase in the weighting of other categories. Ene 04 In BREEAM 2011, it is a minimum requirement for achieving an Excellent rating that a compliant LZC feasibility study is carried out.
As such, complying with this issue in 2011 comes at a cost when targeting Excellent even if you do not go on to install any LZC technology (as LZC feasibility studies are not provided for free). This minimum standard has been removed from the 2014 version, so will not be incurred if LZC technology is not incorporated in to the design - although it is expected that an LZC feasibility study will be undertaken, and associated costs incurred, if LZC technologies are to be included. This is in part because of the introduction of new credit areas that have diluted the value of pre-existing credits. It is therefore important to consider the potential cost and value of the new credit areas to determine whether a project team would be better placed pursuing the new credit areas or targeting additional credits in those pre-existing issues that might not have been sought previously. It is likely that the additional cost of targeting these new credit areas will be small, if present at all. There is little obligation to undertake specific measures that will incur defined costs and any actions arising from the investigations would only be required where they are demonstrably “appropriate”, “feasible”, and or “cost effective”. Further there is relatively little prescription in the approach to analysis in these new credit areas (unlike many areas of BREEAM where the steps are closely defined) and therefore the project team be able to tailor the analysis so that it is proportionate to the project’s value, risks and opportunities. There will be some additional analytical time required to investigate each option however this is likely to be relatively small (albeit incrementally adding to the plethora of tests and analyses now required or any project) if programmed effectively and integrated into the design development process.

The additional issues introduced in the 2014 standard should not compel the project to incur significant costs and may help to highlight cost saving or value enhancing opportunities. As such, climate change adaptation, functional adaptability and materials efficiency studies may well become more common parts of the project delivery process. It is important, at this stage at least, that the approach to these studies remains flexible so that they can offer value to the project without burdening it with unnecessary additional administration Reimagining a building’s life cycle could improve its carbon efficiency Comment How to create productive workplaces 2015-05-12T08:01:00Z The link between design, wellbeing and productivity undeniable, so shouldn’t we being doing more to improve our office space.

Its categories evaluate energy and water use, health and wellbeing, pollution, transport, materials, waste, ecology and management processes. Buildings are rated and certified on a scale of 'Pass', 'Good', 'Very Good', 'Excellent' and 'Outstanding'.It helps them to successfully adopt sustainable solutions in a cost-effective manner, and provides market recognition of their achievements.The first version for assessing new office buildings was launched in 1990. This was followed by versions for other buildings including superstores, industrial units and existing offices.
The development of BREEAM then accelerated with annual updates and variations for other building types such as retail premises being introduced.In 2014, the Government in England signalled the winding down the Code for Sustainable homes, since then BRE has developed the Home Quality Mark which is part of the BREEAM family of schemes. International versions of BREEAM were also launched that year.This revision included the reclassification and consolidation of issues and criteria to further streamline the BREEAM process. The latest update of BREEAM UK New Construction was launched in March 2018 at Ecobuild.Its regular revisions and updates are driven by the ongoing need to improve sustainability, respond to feedback from industry and support the UK's sustainability strategies and commitments.Developers and their project teams use the scheme at key stages in the design and procurement process to measure, evaluate, improve and reflect the performance of their buildings.This scheme makes use of assessment criteria that take account of the circumstances, priorities, codes and standards of the country or region in which the development is located.A scheme for non-housing refurbishment projects is being developed and is targeted for launch in early 2014. The launch date will be announced once the piloting and independent peer review processes has been completed.It rates new homes on their overall quality and sustainability, then provides further indicators on the homes impact upon the occupants 'Running costs', 'Health and wellbeing' and 'Environmental footprint'.There are currently NSOs affiliated to BREEAM in:They can be produced from scratch by adapting current BREEAM schemes to the local context, or by developing existing local schemes.Where such measures do incur additional costs, these can frequently be paid back through lower running expenses, ultimately leading to saving over the life of the building.
The findings included, for example, that 88 think it is a good thing, 96 would use the scheme again and 88 would recommend BREEAM to others.There is growing evidence, for example, that BREEAM-rated buildings provide increased rates of return for investors, and increased rental rates and sales premiums for developers and owners. It found, for example, that these buildings achieved a 21 premium on transaction prices and an 18 premium on rents.Retrieved 8 May 2014.

IES TaP for BREEAM These include: The fires have burned through more than 12 million acres of land. Conversely, occupants of BREEAM offices tended to be less satisfied with air quality and visual privacy than users of non-BREEAM buildings. Lower satisfaction was also detected in BREEAM offices for occupants having spent over 24 months in their building, and for users working in open-plan spaces. Broadening the perspective for appraising occupants’ perceptions, these combined techniques led to conclude that certification schemes should balance criteria addressing energy performance with design solutions considerate of issues of privacy, proxemics and perceived control over the qualities of the indoor environment.
