Putting BREEAM requirements into practice

BREEAM New Construction V7 places an increased focus on whole-life carbon, embodied impacts, operational performance, biodiversity and the effective use of project data. The guide brings these requirements into a practical specification context, helping specifiers understand how their decisions can contribute to stronger sustainability outcomes.

A practical approach to BREEAM specification

Covering management, health and wellbeing, energy, transport, water, materials, waste, land use and ecology, pollution and innovation, it explains the key considerations within each assessment category. It also shows how Uniclass and CAWS content in NBS Chorus can help teams align specification information with BREEAM evidence requirements and maintain a clear, traceable golden thread from design through to delivery.
