Environment stresses and strain and social well being. . . Are likely to prove one
of those tectonic forces that – like globalization or the aging of populations –
gradually but powerfully changes the economic landscape in which [businesses]
operate. . .
Firms that recognize the challenge early, and respond imaginatively and
constructively, will create opportunities for themselves and thereby prosper.
Others, slower to realize what is going on or electing to ignore it, will likely to fail.”

So what about BREEAM

We need to create Standards and tools

About BRE
“the future of sustainable building”.
• Achieving low cost and low impact;
• Adaptation needs;
• Achieving industry transformation;
• regulation vs voluntary standards;
1
• More integrated working,
• Faster innovation cycles,
• Lower risk
• Reduced costs of construction, and hence

Industry transformation in both
performance and sustainability means a
step change, from goods to service.

How did it approach energy: Neighbourhood level: • 100% green heat and green power
use at the district level supply of green power and green heat to the surrounding neighbourhood;
• decentralised generation , local distribution – local supply: matching supply and demand for heat and power.
Building level: • follows the criteria were buildings
are designed first to minimise energy loss –before the focus shifts to renewable energy solutions;
• demand for heat reduced through insulation and air-tightness
• low-energy housing: K-level 26W/m2K (BAU = K45)
• maximisation of renewable energy sources;

LSE's New Students' Centre
• incorporated into the design include a combined heat and power unit (CHP) to generate both heat and electricity, photovoltaic (PV) panels on the roof;
• The design also facilitates natural
ventilation and cooling;
• An LED screen in the ground floor foyer displaying dynamic information relating to the PV, CHP and integrated water harvesting systems, and the DEC rating (after a year of operation).
• A 254m2 PV system that contributes to reducing of CO2 emissions by 32.3%, when compared to the building regulations’ Target Emission Rate
• Extremely efficient boilers and CHP systems that meet the energy heating demand whilst also minimising NOx emissions (less than 40 mg/KWh).

Can we create new business models
BREEAM®
How did it approach energy:
BREEAM
One Angel Square, Co-operative Group HQ, Manchester
• The double skinned
facade and soaring
open atrium are key to
creating natural
heating, cooling and
lighting. The atrium,
for example, floods the
building’s interior with
light, and the facade
helps to minimise
heating and cooling
loads;
• heat recovery from the
IT systems that will
also help to heat the
building;
• low energy LED
lighting and IT
equipment and
systems
All from a single BREEAM
standard

• BRE Environmental and Sustainability Standard (BES 5058)
• Designed to provide detailed and meaningful insight into the environmental performance of buildings throughout their entire operational life.
• Providing assessment of:
– the building (Asset Rating),
– the operation of the building (Building Management Rating),
– how Clients are managing their activities within the building (Organisational Rating).

THE
BREEAM
Schneider Electric’s global headquarters, The Hive, Paris
Le Hive is Schneider Electric’s global headquarters and has 1,850 employees working there. Le Hive’s name is an acronym from the French for hall of innovation and energy showcase. The retrofit of the seven-storey building reflects Schneider Electric’s position as an energy management specialist, incorporating comprehensive energy monitoring, and was carried out largely by the company’s own in-house experts.

BREEAM Communities
We have constructed
communities, rather than
build them
Living within
Environmental limits
Respecting the limits of the
Planet’s environment,
resources and biodiversity
Ensuring a strong,
Healthy and just society
Meeting the diverse needs
of all people in existing and
future communities
Achieving a sustainable
Economy
Building a strong, stable

The wider goals
BREEAM Communities is…
– A standard to improve the design of large-scale developments
– An holistic assessment of environmental, social and economic sustainability
– A framework for collaborating on key masterplanning issues

BREEAM automation - Objectives
Enabling efficient delivery of innovative, high
quality BREEAM products and services to
digitally enabled construction industries.
Objectives – How will they be delivered
• By ensuring BREEAM continues to deliver
value when it is needed by
• Enabling provision of performance feedback at
appropriate points in the development process
• Using technology to foster and harness the
potential of the international BREEAM network
and wider ‘crowd’
• Harnessing the potential of data generated by
BREEAM through
• Building data analytics to feed in to product
maintenance and development
• Business data analytics to strengthen current
processes and services

So to conclude
The time is far in the future. A commercial space towing ship the Nostromo, makes an unscheduled stop at a remote planet, where one of the crew members is attacked by a parasite. A horrible scene in which the parasite bursts through his chest sets up the rest of the story in which each crew member meets a horrible death until only one remains. As it turns out, the encounter was intentional. The creature, a perfect killing machine, was know to authorities months before and they wanted to use the ship’s crew to bring one of them back so it could be weaponized. The crew had no idea.
Synopsis of the movie Alien
The lesson we can learn from Alien is profound and has many aspects. One lesson is that if you find yourself in an unknown situation assume the worst case and don’t get too close to the unknown
Another is :-
If you don’t know your real mission, disaster is likely to follow.

BREEAM is a best practise standard, Based on Research, locally adapted, covering all life cycle stages of the built environment.
Here to make you succeed and not to fail
• Project saved money, contractors reduced risk
• Supply chain offered solutions
• Sustainability targets has driven culture change
• Initial resistance has been transformed – new practices have been adopted as good for business
Outcomes of BRE work on Olympics
• Sustainability is business as usual (like H&S)
• Construction generates a carbon benefit stream
• Building work is higher quality, lower cost
• We need to stimulates agile construction, capable of
insertion of new technologies and materials
