NB BREEAM for HE draft assessor manual content is below.

GreenBuild is a new LGM project, mainly financed by the four UK funding bodies and AUDE, with additional support from the Carbon Trust (see Greenbuild briefing document). It has two workstreams:

BREEAM Higher Education - a standard scheme for most university buildings which is being developed by BRE, in collaboration with the project (and with AUDE having a leading role);

High Performance Laboratories – actions to support environmental improvements in the design and management of labs, and to develop environmental awareness amongst staff and students.

The BREEAM HE stream has completed its initial consultation - see reports on the six meetings held at Edinburgh (March 10th); Cardiff (April 17th); London (May 14th);Oxford (June 27th - focused on laboratories); BRE, Watford (October 13th - reviewing the draft assessor's manual); and Oxford, November12th - reviewing the criteria for labs and heavily serviced buildings). A discussion paper for the meeting on 12th November can be found here. Minutes of the steering group meeting on 1 July 2008 can be found here.

A further update paper summarises the position as of 14 November 2008. A copy of the Collated Feedback, v3, based on written comments and discussion at the meeting on 13th October, can be found here.
