Best of BREEAM 2014 Today’S Most Sustainable Buildings 2 Innovation and Quality www.breeam.com Best of BREEAM 2014 Today’s most sustainable buildings 2 Innovation and quality It only takes a quick look through the shortlists for the BREEAM Awards 2014 to be reminded of the rich vein of ingenious innovation and commitment to quality that runs through our industry. This has been another year of extraordinary achievement – the highest ever BREEAM scores, the first BREEAM Outstanding refurbishment, the first Outstanding in China, the first certifications under BREEAM In-Use International, and the list goes on. A notable feature of the 2014 Awards is the extensive international representation. Having contributed much to the strong focus on sustainability in building design, construction and use in the UK, BREEAM has become one of our major export success stories. Gavin Dunn, More than 25% of assessments are now outside of the Director of BREEAM UK, with demand in some sectors growing particularly rapidly. France, for example, is currently the biggest market in Europe for BREEAM In-Use, and French buildings dominate the In-Use category in this year’s awards. Along with the growing global spread of BREEAM, comes increasing evidence of the benefits of sustainability in terms of enhancing – at little cost – the quality, appeal and value of buildings. Later this year, for example, we will be presenting the results of a new research study from Sweett Group and BRE, which examined the capital costs associated with a range of sustainable approaches in a variety of building types. The report concludes that sustainability improvements can be achieved at little or no additional cost. Where extra capital costs do accrue, they can often be repaid through lower operational costs and lead to savings over the building’s operational life. ‘Delivering Sustainable Buildings – Savings & Payback’, will be published in May. Other news for the coming year includes the introduction of BREEAM UK New Construction 2014. A response to proposed changes to UK building regulations and SUDs standards, this revision incorporates outcomes from the most extensive consultation process ever undertaken for a BREEAM scheme. Leading industry bodies and a wide range of individual stakeholders, including BREEAM assessors and clients, provided feedback on all aspects of the new scheme. We believe that the 2014 update will not only help you to create better, more sustainable and more robust assets, but also give greater flexibility in respect of the evidence that is required to demonstrate compliance. Looking further ahead, this autumn we plan to launch a new standalone version of BREEAM for assessing non-domestic building refurbishments and fit-outs in the UK. Currently in the final development stage, a draft BREEAM Refurbishment & Fit-Out 2014 scheme document will be released for consultation shortly. We are also planning to gather further real-life BREEAM cost data to ensure the scheme is as cost-effective as possible and working to enhance the online delivery of BREEAM, make greater use of building information modelling (BIM) and introduce more effective data exploitation. All of these initiatives are aimed at ensuring that BREEAM is and remains the most authoritative, comprehensive and widely used environmental assessment and certification system for buildings and communities around the world.

In previous years c e awards were based simply on the highest 1 9 9 8 scoring BREEAM buildings in each scheme. This year the five highest scoring buildings ellent o in each scheme formed a series of category xc r O shortlists, which were put before a panel of E u eminent industry judges. The judges made M ts the final choice of winner, taking into account t A a the BREEAM score achieved alongside factors E n such as the value of the building to its occupiers E and users, and particular site constraints. d R i n B The judging panel for the 2014 awards is: g d in Alan Yates, Technical Director, e 1 4 Sustainability, BRE Global (chair) t a Cat Hirst, Education Manager, UK r Green Building Council Claudine Blamey, Head of Sustainability, The Crown Estate Phil Heenan, Head of Construction Policy and Standards, Office of Government Commerce, Cabinet Office in e Hywel Davies, Technical Director, Chartered x ce Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE). s d s The format for the awards for the assessors e 78 o s of the year and the assessor organisation f of the year remains unchanged. s e s million Another new feature of this year’s awards is the s a Your BREEAM Award, a people’s choice award 2 a organised with BRE’s Building4change.com. For e m r a this award, the top three scoring building projects r o o (top two for BREEAM In-Use) formed a longlist fl and readers of Building4change.com were then given the opportunity to vote for the project that they considered most deserved public recognition. The open online poll ran for two weeks in February, recording thousands of votes. 4 This year’s BREEAM Awards shortlists Recognising the highest scoring buildings certified under BREEAM between 1 January 2013 and 31 December 2013, together with achievement awards for BREEAM assessors.

Fisette4 ABSTRACT This study examines the differences between two environmental assessment methods for the K-12 education sector: the United States Green Building Council’s (USGBC) LEED Schools Version 3.0 and the British Research Estab- lishment’s (BRE) BREEAM Education issue 2.0. Credit requirements are compared side-by-side and against recom- mendations from researchers in areas such as acoustics, lighting and indoor environment quality. Strengths in the two schemes and areas for improvement are highlighted, with acknowledgement that each scheme offers components and techniques from which the other could benefit.

  • Home Builders Federation (HBF) on the Draft Islington Local Plan Regulation 19 Consultation Version
    R19.0106 Freepost RTXU-ETKU-KECB Planning Policy Islington Council Town Hall Upper Street London N1 2UD 17 October 2019 [email protected] ISLINGTON COUNCIL LOCAL PLAN: REGULATION 19 CONSULTATION Thank you for consulting the Home Builders Federation (HBF) on the draft Islington Local Plan Regulation 19 consultation version. James Stevens, the HBF’s Director for Cities, has prepared this response and he is the lead contact for all things in relation to the Islington Local Plan. The Home Builders Federation (HBF) is the principal representative body of the house building industry in England and Wales and our representations reflect the views of discussions with our membership of national and multinational plc’s, through regional developers to small, local builders. Our members account for over 80% of all new housing built in England and Wales in any one year. Recent research by the Government has estimated that housebuilders have made a significant contribution to the nation’s infrastructure, providing some £21 billion towards infrastructure of all types including affordable housing since 2005. We would like to submit the following comments on the draft Plan and we would like to be involved in the examination-in-public on those matters relevant to these representations. 1. What is the role of the local plan The plan period Para. 1.2 states that the Local Plan will cover the period 2020/21 to 2035/36. Policy H2: New and Existing Conventional Housing provides a housing target that runs only to 2028/29. We acknowledge that the Draft London Plan is only able to identify a housing land supply up to 2028/29 (thereafter London’s capacity is more uncertain and will need to be reassessed) and we acknowledge that footnote 8 to the Draft Islington Local Plan (DILP) refers to the annual target that is set by the DLP being rolled forward for the period post 2028/29.

    Secondary Glazing Case Study Churches Domestic Education Healthcare Heritage Hotels & Leisure Housing Offices Bush House, London Former home to the BBC, and now luxury office space, Bush House was renovated as part of a two-year, £60 million project back in 2012. JLL, ISG and John Robertson Architects were appointed to upgrade and restore the historic building in just 77 weeks. Nevertheless, a BREEAM environmental assessment target of ‘Excellent’ was set, making secondary glazing a vital aid to achieving a grade ‘A’ rated environment. Part of the unique appeal of secondary glazing is the ability to bring modern thermal and acoustic insulation to buildings while remaining respectful of the original design aesthetics. Even so, in this instance, Granada worked with ISG and JRA to develop an entirely new product — the odd leg horizontal sliding sash, with 6.4mm low ‘e’ laminate glass. The unique ‘odd leg’ build out detail, provided ISG with a more appropriate and secure flush aluminium alloy sub-frame detailing. There are few more prestigious buildings than Bush House, and there was a need to retain the original design. The mix of new technology, together with respect to tradition, has helped to improve functionality, while remaining true to its unique spirit.
