In this episode of the BREEAM Podcast, Breana Wheeler, BRE’s U.S Director of Operations talks to Tom Wilson, Head of BREEAM Development about the launch of BREEAM New Construction Version 7 and what it means for designers, developers and the sustainability of the built environment.
Some of the topics covered are:
The electrification of buildings and how this energy strategy can help decarbonise the built environment
Net zero carbon buildings and how BREEAM can support their development
How BRE used building science to develop BREEAM in the 1990s, when sustainability of the built environment was a relatively new concept
How the new BREEAM digital platform makes reporting less of a chore and enables building managers and owners to act on the data.
