Discover how clear, detailed specification can support BREEAM assessment and help project teams deliver more sustainable, future-ready buildings.

About the guide
Created by NBS in collaboration with BRE, this guide provides a practical introduction to BREEAM UK New Construction V7. It summarises the main assessment areas and explores the important role specification plays in capturing the information and evidence required for assessment.

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.
