2 3 A bright green future

In a tough economic climate the question being asked by developers and clients is: does sustainability pay? And, with a relatively uncertain outlook, will sustainable buildings continue to be a priority? Statistics released at the end of 2012 for BREEAM seem to suggest that developers and owners are continuing to treat sustainability as a priority. They show that 2012 was a record year for BREEAM registrations and certifcations. Since 1998 BREEAM schemes have certifed over 16,000 projects, equating to over 250,000 buildings and in excess of 45 million m2 of foor area. In addition, the number of projects achieving a BREEAM Excellent or Outstanding rating is now 1 in 4, compared to 1 in 5 in 2011. Richard Hardy, The BREEAM Awards celebrate the highest scoring buildings certifed Managing Director, each year and we continue to be amazed at the extraordinary BRE Global worldwide quality and variety of the buildings involved. They set the benchmarks for innovative sustainability throughout the built environment, ranging from suburban terrace homes to city centre tower blocks. This variety refects the fact that since its launch in 1990, BREEAM has expanded from the original focus on individual new buildings at construction stage, to encompass the whole life cycle of buildings and communities all over the world – from planning and design to in-use and refurbishment. As the custodians of BREEAM, we recognise the huge debt that its success owes to a great many other stakeholders. Our highly committed and professional assessors in the UK and around the world, for example, are an integral part of the BREEAM story. We are delighted to be able to acknowledge their efforts in these awards. As well as their day to day work, the assessors’ feedback on the scheme – and that of other industry experts and BREEAM users – is vital to its ongoing improvement and expansion. This has allowed BREEAM to remain at the leading edge of scientifc development and innovation leading to market transformation. Aside from the award winners it is gratifying to see how so many of the innovations of only a few years ago are now mainstream in so many buildings. The level of performance of today’s buildings is much higher than before. For example, the average number of credits awarded for reduction of emissions in all BREEAM assessed buildings is 15% higher than a year ago. We also pay tribute to the users of BREEAM who trust the scheme to help them develop their inspirational buildings. The small selection highlighted at the awards each year showcase the many benefts of sustainability, which extend far beyond the international recognition achieved. Along with the quantifable benefts – for example in carbon emissions, resource consumption, waste reduction – less tangible improvements in quality are increasingly being noted in buildings designed with a strong focus on sustainability. Meeting the standards required by BREEAM requires careful planning, design, specifcation and detailing, and a good working relationship between the client and project team. These are also the very qualities that can produce better buildings and better conditions for building users. The greater effciency and quality associated with sustainability is also helping to make such buildings more commercially successful. There is growing evidence that BREEAM-rated buildings provide increased rates of return for investors, and increased rental rates and sales premiums for developers and owners. This is an area on which we plan to provide a greater focus in the future – to help identify and Front cover images: left - Waitrose’s Bracknell store, quantify in more detail what it means to have a building that provides centre - Cobalt Data Centre 2, a better environmental performance and maintains or improves its right - Five Pancras Square value in a tough economic climate. 4 Winning ways

About BREEAM

BREEAM is the world’s foremost environmental assessment method and rating system for buildings. It sets the standard for best practice in sustainable building design, construction and operation and has become one of the most comprehensive and widely recognised measures of a building’s environmental performance. A BREEAM assessment uses recognised measures of performance, which are set against established benchmarks, to evaluate a building’s specifcation, design, construction and use. The measures represent a range of categories and criteria from energy to ecology.
