Sustainable Buildings?
Principles of Sustainable Design
• Fit for Purpose• Minimised environmental / social / economic
footprint:– Minimise Demands– Maximise Efficiencies– Minimise Impacts
• Robustness in Operation:– Recognises individual needs/tastes– Adaptable to future requirements/needs

HowBenefits
• Widely used:– over 110,000 buildings assessed– nearly three quarters of a million
registered• Respected and replicated
throughout the world• Developed with industry • Independent governance.• Regularly updated to ensure best
practice.• Increasingly used within Europe
and internationally.
BREEAM
• Based on BRE’s EcoHomes method
• BRE Global act as technical advisors
• Operated on behalf of CLG by Code Service Providers:– BRE Global– Stroma– Others?

Recent developments• BREEAM 2008
– Outstanding rating level– Mandatory performance levels for key impacts– Post construction Final Certification– Innovation Credits– Benchmarks for CO2 in line with EPC methodology– Responsible Sourcing of Construction Materials
(BES 6001)– Shell only assessments
• New schemes:– Healthcare– Education – schools, higher and further education
Opportunities and Costs
Skills and knowledge
• BREEAM Assessors– Independent Scheme Auditors – Technical understanding of the scheme and its
requirements.
• BREEAM Accredited Professionals– Design team advisor– Knowledge of scheme requirements and design
options

Future developments
• Regular reviews• Updates to reflect:
– Regulatory changes– Best Practice– Policy changes– New issues and
changing priorities
Development objectives• Code 2010 – Consultation
• Refurbishment – Domestic and Non-domestic• Building Operation – Domestic and Non-domestic• Zero Carbon – additional rating indicating progress
towards zero carbon• Smaller projects – Simplified criteria and assessment
process for smaller simple buildings • Infrastructure – Quantification and benchmarking
performance alongside CEEQUAL
Development objectives• International – Schemes and collaboration
– BREEAM Europe/Gulf/International– WGBC/CEN TC350– Sustainable Buildings Alliance – harmonising
assessment methodologies– BREEAM/LEED/GreenStar collaboration common
metrics• Drivers and Benefits –
– Asset Value/ROI/Costs/ Productivity etc.• Skills and Knowledge –
– Accredited professionals – CPD/training
