3 Approximate estimates on energy use Buildings 50% Industry 25% Travel 25% »Nightingale associates 2008

4 Global warming models Look at the met office site and the models of global warming http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/hadleycentre/models/modeldata.html

5 Can increase in CO 2 be explained by volcanic eruptions, natural, orbital change etc. www.metoffice.gov.uk

6 Sustainable? Zero Carbon Government targets! Domestic buildings should be zero carbon by 2016 Non-domestic buildings should be zero carbon by 2019 Existing buildings? New buildings only account for 1%?

7 Building Research Establishment (BRE 2002) published a guide to assist developers when identifying sustainability issues. Issues include: Land Use, Urban Form and Design Transport Energy Impact of individual buildings Natural resources Ecology Community Business A sustainability checklist for development

8 BREEAM Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Model BREEAM provides a numerical weighting system that is applied to new and existing buildings to assess their ‘sustainability’. www.breeam.org

9 BREEAM Categories and weightings Management 15% Health and Welfare15% Energy13.6% Transport11.4% Water5% Materials10% Land use15% Pollution15%

10 Trained assessors score category The BREEAM assessor awards a numerical score to each category and the scores are totalled to give an overall rating. The designated BREEAM ratings of pass, good, very good or excellent can be awarded.

11 Minimum score required to achieve BREEAM rating Pass 25 Good40 Very Good55 Excellent 70
