– ‘Go live’ 31st October for manual, tools, assessments and registrations
Briefing session
– Background
– Introduction
– How to engage with the scheme
– Technical overview• Differences with BREEAM 2008 and BREEAM NC
2014• Consultation feedback and how this has been
addressed– Future work
Background
Key headlines
18% - UK emissions from non domestic buildings
90% - properties EPC Band C or worse
62% - proportion of tenanted commercial property
Green buildings pay
– There is increased investor demand for high quality properties with low risk
– Certified buildings are more highly valued and safer long-term investments
Aviva investors use of BREEAM
“All new acquisitions must have a BREEAM rating”
“BREEAM is a strong rating tool that helps sound, responsible property investment”
“Tenants will discard of buildings that don’t have BREEAM ratings”
Michael Borello, Aviva investors, MIPIM UK 2014
Benefits of BREEAM Refurbishment and Fit-out
• Flexible whilst being transparent about your scope of works
• Can be used for all building types (including mixed new build/refurb)
• Provides comparability between projects
• Empathetic with historic buildings e.g. grade 1, 2, 2* listed buildings
• Assists with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) obligations
Benefits of BREEAM Refurbishment and Fit-out
• Get ahead of your competition & showcase industry best practice
• Save operating costs and reduce risk
• Minimise water use, CO2 emissions and waste
• Enhance occupant comfort and increase productivity
“should fill a gap for existing historic buildings that has been difficult to grapple with for a long time.”
“the increased sophistication in assessment for all types of refurbishment schemes is a breath of fresh-air”
Progressive Heritage
Feedback on the new scheme so far
Pilot projects
– Identify the opportunities and limitations with improving sustainability in existing building fit-out and refurbishment projects
– Develop a new flexible structure for BREEAM that can work for a wider range of refurbishment and fit-out projects
Pilot projects
Green Investment Bank, Edinburgh
– BREEAM ‘Excellent’ fit-out
– 7th floor of a BREEAM Excellent rated building
– Fit-out score benefitted from a high performing base build
– Helped highlight what issues they could influence as part of the fit-out i.e.• Base build services cannot
be further improved
Introduction to the scheme
Structure
– Modular structure with a mix and match type approach
– Clients can gain certification against the parts relevant to their scope of work
– Provides flexibility
– Provides comparability across the property market
How it works:– The online assessment tool will filter the applicable criteria
automatically based upon rules set out in the technical manual– The criteria not applicable to an assessment part are filtered out from the
assessment
– The separate parts combine to provide a single score and rating e.g. a parts 2 & 3 assessment with an ‘Excellent’ rating
– All assessments are capable of achieving a rating from ‘Pass’ to ‘Outstanding’ to recognise the performance of that project
– Parts assessed (and not assessed) are clearly labelled on the certificate
– Applicability of a part results in all criteria for that part being relevant – e.g. if Part 2 is applicable, all core services are assessed
– Aspects of the project that already perform well are given recognition – e.g. if the building already has highly efficient boiler plant, this will be recognised in
Ene 01.
– However, aspects that perform poorly that are not being improved, will bring the score down. This reflects that the scheme is a performance based assessment method. A part 2 assessment quantifies the performance of the projects core services.

Management
Man 01: Project brief and design– Aligns with BREEAM New Construction 2014
– Requirement for a project brief to be in place with clear objectives e.g. target energy performance
Man 02: Lifecycle costing and service life planning– Appraisal of fabric options relating to expected life of
refurbished building e.g. looking at 20, 30, 50+ years
– Services looked at for 15+ year life
– Fit-out for 10 year plan
– Man 03: Responsible construction practices• Aligns with BREEAM New Construction 2014
Alternative option for low value projects• Option to achieve 1 credit as alternative to CCS for small value
projects (e.g. Retail fit-out project of less than £1million) where contractor has considerate construction policy implemented e.g. procedures for site cleanliness, reducing impacts on neighbours.
Man 04: Commissioning and handover– Aligns with new construction 2014 and includes:
• Commissioning of new or upgraded services and equipment (Parts 2, 3 and 4)
• Testing and inspection of any work to building fabric (Part 1)

Feedback“Achieving the daylighting criteria in a new build is difficult, never mind in an existing building”
Revised daylighting criteria:1. Improve existing daylighting (aimed at Part 1 projects)
1. 15% for 1 credit2. 30% for 2 credits
2. Maximise use of spaces that benefit from good daylighting through design of internal layout (aimed at fit-out)
View out criteria:1. One credit where 80% of spaces meet the view out criteria2. Two credits where 95% of spaces meet the view out criteria
(aligning with BREEAM New Construction)
Thermal comfort criteria
Feedback“A fit-out will have little impact on thermal comfort as it is mainly influenced by the base building performance”
Thermal modelling– A Part 4 (interior design) assessment should assess suitability of
existing building services and controls
– Fully dynamic modelling not required simple modelling acceptable for simple systems e.g. parts 3 and 4
– Thermal modelling for a projected climate change scenario not required for a part 3 or 4 assessment

Summary – differences from BREEAM 2008
Energy
Ene01– Ene 01 credits based upon improvement over existing
– No longer just based upon CO2 index, now using triple metric
– New elemental approach tailored for fit-out
Other changes– New Ene04 credit focusing on low carbon design
– Transportation credit tailored for existing transportation systems
– Other issues based on New Construction 2014, adapted for refurbishment and applicability

– If a building already performs well, it will require smaller improvements to achieve energy credits
– If a building perform poorly, it will require significant improvements to achieve credits
BREEAM Refurbishment elemental approach (option 2) – Assesses performance based upon the influence a project has over
building energy performance
– BREEAM refurbishment energy tool can assess performance of landlord areas separately from tenant areas
- Fabric U values- Infiltration rates
- Heat generation - Cooling generation
- - Distribution systems
- Air handling units etc.
- Lighting- Local heating
- Local hot water- Local cooling
- Local ventilation- Controls
Historic buildings report: 2 credits– Where a historic buildings report has been developed with input
from a ‘Suitably Qualified Heritage Conservation Specialist’
– A detailed study to look at options that may be adopted within constraints of the building e.g. potential glazing options
– Use of best practice to consider responsible retrofit
New paper: Sustainable refurbishment of heritage buildings
Key finding: Heritage buildings tend to out-perform standard refurbishment projects and almost perform as well as new build projects!
– Outlines the common challenges and solutions for heritage buildings in achieving high BREEAM ratings
– Includes example solutions from case study buildings
