Mandatory Credits (Minimum Standards) Aims: –To avoid that a building achieves an Excellent rating, but does not achieve compliance with straightforward BREEAM issues e.g. storage of recyclable waste or installation of a water meter. –Comparability across different schemes and BREEAM buildings The higher the BREEAM rating the more mandatory requirements there are and progressively harder they become.
13
Innovation Credits Additional recognition for ‘innovation in the field of sustainable performance’, above and beyond what is currently recognised and rewarded in BREEAM Two ways of obtaining Innovation Credits: 1.By 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’

BREEAM Education Schools (primary and secondary) Further education colleges Sixth form colleges Vocational facilities This includes new and refurbished education buildings and extensions within or part of a larger education development. Minster Secondary School and Sixth Form Southwell, Nottinghamshire On course for a rating of Very Good BREEAM Education will be used to assess the following types of buildings:
18
BREEAM Education’s scope General teaching spaces Catering Retail Sports facilities Admin and Support Outdoor areas Special Educational Needs Nurseries Specialist areas (drama studios, labs, IT, etc.) FE colleges: Large-scale visual arts and multi-media recording studios, e.g. sculpture/photography Trade-based workshops, e.g. salons, bricklaying, carpentry etc. ‘Independent living’ workshops N.B. Standalone facilities must be assessed using Bespoke BREEAM
19
BREEAM Education’s scope The scheme does not cover: Higher education / university buildings However, BRE Global is developing a tool (out for consultation now) for HE buildings Due in Spring 2009
20
DCSF’s requirement All major new build and refurbishment projects valued at: –over £500k for primary schools, –over £2m for secondary schools, where more than 10% of the floor area of a school is affected The Department expects all these schemes to achieve at least a VERY GOOD rating using the BREEAM Schools Methodology.
21
LSC’s requirement To qualify for LSC (Learning Skills Council) capital funds all proposals need to address Sustainable Development by: –Meeting and preferably exceeding Part L of Building Regulations –Meeting the criteria to achieve Excellent BREEAM ratings –Maximising the use of natural lighting and ventilation and embedding the principles of sustainability in the design of buildings and building systems –The LSC will allow an additional 5% of building costs to be ring fenced and used for Sustainable Development
22
The price of sustainable schools BRE and Faithful+Gould – funded by BRE Trust and DCSF ‘Putting a price on sustainable schools’ BRE Trust (A Surgenor and I Butterss, 2008) Capital cost implications of achieving BREEAM Schools ratings and low/zero carbon for: –Primary school –Secondary school available from BRE bookshop £25 www.bre.co.uk/brebookshop
23
Summary of results PassGood Very Good Excellent Zero/low carbon Primary school 0 – 0.20.5 – 0.81.4 – 2.54.5 – 7.62.1 – 9.8 Secondary school 0 – 0.10.2 – 0.71.0 – 2.64.1 – 5.6 2.7 – 15.3 Percentage increase in capital cost to achieve a BREEAM rating:
