Who Are BRE
• Established 80 years ago
• Dedicated to all aspects of the built environment
• Growing focus on improving environmental performance of buildings
Building Research Establishment
A private enterprise, sponsored by gov’t, in business to make profit through fees

Method
What is BREEAM
What Is An Environmental Profile?
• Measurement of the environmental performance of a material, product or system over a set time period (60 years)
– Extraction of raw materials & transport (“cradle to grave”)
– Production (“gate to gate”)
– Transport, installation & end of life (“gate to grave”)
• Achieved using Life Cycle Assessment Method (LCA)
• Outcome is 3rd party Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
Simple Example of LCA Thinking
Extraction
Creation
Maintenance
Disposal
True Or False?
“In a typical building the floor covering can have a greater environmental impact than any other material”

Data
ECOPOINTS
Rating – Soft Floor Coverings
Ecopoints per m20 1.44 2.85 4.25
BREEAM Ratings – TodayFor the Product
Rating – Soft Floor Coverings
Ecopoints per m2
0 1.4 2.85 4.25
BREEAM Ratings – TodayFor the Product
A rating versus B
A = 1.4B = 1.5
Difference = 0.1 ecopoints
Equates to:
6.5 miles by articulated truck
30 miles urban driving

The Building
• “Construction materials relate to 10% of the total score available within BREEAM 98 for offices”.
BREEAM Building Standards
• If the Architect is building to BREEAM standards, what Building Rating are they trying to achieve?

Changes To BREEAM
BREEAM Ratings - June 2008
Ratings – Soft Floorcoverings (June 2008)
A+ A B C D E
The new scheme will employ the same approach but it will create a larger number of subdivisions
The conversion of existing ABC ratings to the new Categories is currently under discussion
Be Aware…
• The BREEAM scheme benchmarks us against our competitors.
• If they improve & we don’t, our rating will decrease
• This means we have to adopt continuous improvement

New Products
• A product must be in production 12 months before it can be assessed by BRE (it is possible to be assessed in a 6 month time frame but the result will not be as accurate)
• An “aged” product is then assessed in the same way as any other product.
This can cause a “chicken and egg situation” – you can’t sell your products until you get a rating and you can’t get a rating until you have at least 12 months worth of production.
To date we are still pressing BRE to provide a solution for the industry

BRE & LEED
• BREEAM has been viewed as being a UK scheme. They now refer to themselves as BRE Global – which is aimed at attracting a wider market. It is gaining a foothold in Europe.
• LEED is the USA version of BREEAM. It is expanding from its North American base and is growing in popularity in the Far East.
• As our awareness increases and the need to make positive grows, schemes such as BREEAM and LEED, will find increasing favour. However from a manufacturers perspective it is important that the number of schems is kept to a minimum
