11. Increased asset value
‘Providing a badge (for tenants) as part
of their total package of green
credentials.’

12. Risk mitigation
‘From an investment perspective, it
also bolstered marketability and
reduced obsolescence risk. On
launch, we were able to advertise the
letting at £65 per square foot – an
improvement of some 20% on our
expectations when we first undertook
the project.’
Dr Steve Waygood, Chief Responsible Investment Officer
Aviva Responsible investment update, Spring/Summer 2015
13. Productivity and talent retention in offices
‘Recruitment and retention were two of the main
drivers for the BREEAM rating - it was appropriate
for the tenant’s staff.’
Quote from BSRIA 2012 publication
14. The case study of One Angel Square
• BREEAM Offices 2008
• BREEAM rating: Outstanding
• Score: 95.16%
• 15 storeys - 30,500m2
• 50% energy savings compared to
previous Co-op HQ
• 80% carbon emissions reduction

• Lower energy cost by £500,000 annually
18. Comparison at building element level using a functional unit
Timber versus blocks vs
Cradle to gate
Ecopoints/kgCO2eq per tonne
Cradle to grave
Ecopoints/kgCO2eq per tonne
A+
D
20. Building level assessment
• The functional unit is the overall
building’s function
• Substructure can be assessed
• Accounts for relative importance of
different elements
• Play-off between operational and
embodied impacts
• Can allow BIM integration

23. – Up to 6 credits available for assessing the superstructure
• Comparison against benchmark (office, industrial and retail)
• Option appraisal
– 1 credit for including substructure and hard landscaping
Additional credits
– 1 exemplary credit for including core building services (heating and cooling
systems)
– 1 exemplary credit for LCA and LCC alignment.
– 1 exemplary credit for 3rd party verification of the building LCA work
24. Specify construction products with EPD that achieve a total EPD points
score of at least 20
Recognised types of EPD EPD points
EPD applicable to more than one product category and more than one
manufacturer
0.5
EPD applicable to more than one product category and a single
manufacturer
0.75
EPD applicable to a single product (or variations of single product) and a
single manufacturer
1.5
25. BREEAM updates
– General 3-4 year scheme lifecycle
– Changes to key regulations
– Accounting for new/updated standards
– Maintain recognition and reward for ‘Best Practice’ in sustainable
construction
– Feedback from assessors, clients and other stakeholders
– Structural / visual changes to the manual to support ease of assessment
