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.

BREEAM In-Use International

Advantages of having a flexible international system • Asset comparisons can be made anywhere in the world • A property owner, manager or occupier can store and manage their entire portfolio within one online system • BREEAM In-Use can be used to promote sustainability on a global platform • Flexibility of the scheme allows parts of the international standard to be localised

National scheme operators • Questions localised and tailored specifically to national practices and environmental conditions • Questions translated into national languages • Focus on local benchmarking • Provide an international and local rating

Sector Developments Retail and Healthcare Pilots • Occupier management section of BREEAM In-Use is sector specific • Sector specific questions ensure that the question set is applicable to the activities within the asset
