BREEAM In-Use Assessment Parts

Assessment Part Description

Part 1 Asset performance – the inherent performance characteristics of the building based on its built form, construction and services

Part 2 Building management performance – the management policies, procedures and practices related to the operation of the asset; the actual consumption of key resources such as energy, water and other consumable; and environmental impacts such as carbon and waste generation

Part 3 Occupier management – the understanding and implementation of management policies, procedures and practices; staff engagement and delivery of key outputs

BREEAM In-Use KPIs (Key Performance Indicators)

• Data input during assessment is used to calculate 10 KPIs

• Outputs comprising of data relating to energy, transport, water and waste

• KPIs represent a set of measures that focus on those aspects of environmental performance that can be used to measure consumption and emission targets

• KPIs can act as a facilitator for establishing baselines and for organisational benchmarking against industry standards

Note: The KPIs do not directly relate to the BREEAM In-Use ratings.
