BREEAM<\/a> has introduced a new pre-approval process for its schemes, this new process enables a general sustainability specification that is applicable to multiple projects to be evaluated by BRE Global<\/a><\/h2>\n

The pre-approval process aims to support clients with portfolios to achieve their sustainability goals in a way that is more time and cost efficient.<\/p>\n

Over the past year, several clients have been involved in a pilot scheme<\/a> to evaluate the Pre-Approval process. Their detailed input about their building types, and how they have embedded BREEAM requirements into the design, has provided the basis for agreeing the specific credit issues which could be evidenced by non-site-specific documents to form the pre-approval.<\/p>\n

Lidl<\/a> Sverige KB were one of those who contributed to the pilot scheme. Mattias Tas, Construction Project manager, for the retailer, says: \u201cWe are very pleased with the pre-approval process. It has facilitated and streamlined our work in projects and given us the opportunity to manage several similar projects in parallel in a smooth way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr Shamir Ghumra<\/a>, BREEAM Director, says: \u201c<\/em>BREEAM acknowledges that the business model of some clients involves developing a standard design and specification that is then used on multiple developments. Through the introduction of the Pre-Approval process we are demonstrating we are both listening to and acting upon the market\u2019s requirements, whilst maintaining the integrity of the world\u2019s leading sustainability<\/a> assessment and certification method for buildings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsa Hagdahl, of COWI<\/a> AB, the BREEAM assessor who worked with Lidl, says: \u201c[Pre-Approval] allowed the project team to focus on and spend more time on carrying out pre-studies and analysis to find the most suitable and efficient system solutions for the concept store\u2026\u2019 and \u2018significantly reduced the time spent on assessor BREEAM report writing at design stage\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr Ghumra adds: \u201cClients involved in the pilot scheme have seen real value in being able to \u2018bank\u2019 credits and in the knowledge that a percentage of the overall BREEAM score has already been achieved before embarking on the assessment process for a specific building. This provides due recognition of the general specification the company has adopted across its portfolio, and enables it to focus its attention to improve performance in other areas.\u201d<\/p>\n
