4 1.0 Introduction to BREEAM 1.1 BREEAM (Building Research Establishment s Environmental Assessment Method) is an environmental assessment method for buildings. It sets the standard for best practice in sustainable design and is used to describe a building s environmental performance. 1.2 A BREEAM assessment includes ten categories of sustainability including; Management, Health & Wellbeing, Energy, Transport, Water, Materials, Waste, Land Use and Ecology, Pollution, and Innovation. 1.3 Credits are awarded in each of the ten categories according to performance. These credits are then added together to produce a single overall score on a scale of Pass, Good, Very Good, Excellent, and Outstanding. 1.4 To secure credits evidence must be issued to the BREEAM Assessor demonstrating compliance with the credit criteria. Typically evidence will be in the form of drawings, specifications, reports, statements, letters etc. 1.5 A BREEAM 2014 assessment is a two stage assessment, with evidence required at both the Interim Design Stage and Final Post Construction Stage of the project. 1.6 Note that included in a BREEAM New Construction 2014 assessment are mandatory credits which must be achieved to secure a particular rating regardless of the overall score. 1.7 It is the aim of the University of Nottingham to achieve a BREEAM rating of Excellent for the at University Park, which requires a score of not less than 70% under the BREEAM New Construction 2014 (Healthcare) methodology.

5 2.0 Introduction to 2.1 The proposed scheme comprises the construction of a new two storey health centre, allowing for the existing surgery and dental centre at University Park to be repurposed. The new facility will house clinical consulting rooms, minor operation suites, patient observation bays, a physiotherapy area, dental treatment rooms and a pharmacy, as well as training rooms and offices. 2.2 The scheme has been registered with the BRE and will be assessed as a Healthcare Health Centre/Clinic development under the BREEAM New Construction 2014 scheme version. 2.3 It is understood that it is the aim of the University of Nottingham to achieve a BREEAM rating of Excellent for the, University Park. 2.4 This report sets out the targeted credits as defined in the pre -assessment process and associated main contractor responsibilities relating to achieving BREEAM Excellent at both the Interim Design and Final Post Construction Stages. 2.5 Section 4.0 of this report contains the BREEAM New Construction 2014 ( Healthcare) preassessment credit spreadsheet, which was completed by Anderson Green during a meeting held on 4 th July 2016 at CPMG Offices, Nottingham with the University of Nottingham (Client), Faithful+Gould (Project Manager), CPMG (Architects), Arup (M&E Consultants), and Gleeds (Cost Consultants). 2.6 Following the pre-assessment meeting, discussions with the design team have continued to ensure the selected credits are achieved. 2.7 Achieving the BREEAM Excellent rating will be dependent on the performance of the appointed contractors; therefore the intention of this report is to make tendering contractors aware of the BREEAM requirements. 2.8 The information provided is not exhaustive and the tendering contractors should review this report in full during the tender stage, requesting clarity from the contract administrator and design team on any items required. 2.9 Where there are apparent discrepancies between this report and other elements within the tender documentation, the tendering contractors should contact the relevant members of the design team for clarification. Page 5 of 73

6 2.10 The contractor should be aware that all documentation produced for the purposes of tender is also to be used as evidence for the BREEAM Interim Design Stage assessment The contractor should attempt to achieve all credits currently targeted for the Post Construction Stage of the BREEAM assessment. Should any credits be determined unachievable during the construction process, the contractor must pick up credits elsewhere to ensure that the BREEAM score and rating is the same as at the Interim Design Stage, or better Where material types or other item types are specified that include the term or similar, the definition also includes achievement of the same BREEAM compliance The contractor should also note that our appointment includes attendance at 3 No. meetings during the construction period, including the final site visit. However, the contractor may consider monthly site meetings which will incur an additional fee at either a day rate of (ex. VAT) or half-day rate of (ex. VAT). Should additional meetings be required, the contractor should contact Anderson Green for further details. Page 6 of 73

7 3.0 Executive Summary 3.1 Section 4.0 of this report contains the BREEAM New Construction 2014 (Healthcare) pre - assessment credit spreadsheet, which was completed by Anderson Green during a meeting held on 4 th July 2016 at CPMG Offices, Nottingham with the University of Nottingham (Client), Faithful+Gould (Project Manager), CPMG (Architects), Arup (M&E Consultants), and Gleeds (Cost Consultants). 3.2 The pre-assessment provides a predicted score and corresponding BREEAM rating. For the, a score of 71.37%, which corresponds to a BREEAM rating of Excellent, could be achieved. Note that the mandatory credits required of a BREEAM Excellent rating appear achievable. 3.3 At the current stage of this project, this report would advise that a 5-10% buffer is included to account for any alterations which may result in a reduction in the final assessment score. This is not currently included within the scope of the project. 3.4 To allow for the 5-10% buffer, further potential credits have been identified within the preassessment credit spreadsheet, as agreed with the design team, to increase the score to a more robust Excellent rating. 3.5 Note that the inclusion of some credits may require the additional appointment of a specialist consultant or design alteration; however the majority of these appointments are included within the scope of the tender. 3.6 On the specification and implementation of all additional potential credits, the assessment score would be uplifted to 79.36%. This equates to a more robust BREEAM Excellent percentage score. 3.7 A credit Tracker document has been produced and will be made available to the project team throughout the Design and Post Construction Stages. 3.8 Section 5.0 of this report details those credits where the responsibility lies with the Main Contractor, with further detailed information to be found in Section 9.0 Appendix A. 3.9 Also appended to this report is the BREEAM New Construction 2014 manual, issue 5.0, which gives full details of all credits and compliance requirements relevant to this project.

24 5.0 Main Contractor Responsibilities 5.1 The BREEAM New Construction 2014 (Healthcare) pre-assessment credit spreadsheet contained in Section 4.0 provides the key responsibilities and requirements of each BREEAM credit being attempted and should be consulted when assessing the input required from the main contractor and their team. All documentary evidence shall be provided to the BREEAM assessor on request during design, construction and upon practical completion. 5.2 The main contractor and their sub-contractors must ensure that all credits targeted within the pre-assessment document are achieved and that their responsibilities relating to the BREEAM elements of the tender documentation package are met in line with the BREEAM criteria. 5.3 The following table lists the BREEAM credits targeted by the project team that will require commitment and input from the appointed main contractor and their team. The main contractor responsibilities identified in this section are items which may not be fully covered within the other tender documentation issued by the design team. 5.4 For full details of those credits requiring input from the main contractor please refer to Appendix A: Main Contractor Responsibilities and Appendix B: BREEAM New Construction 2014 manual, Issue It is important to note that it is the responsibility of the main contractor and associated subcontractors to ensure that each credit targeted by the design team is implemented at the construction phase of the project. Where there is apparent discrepancy within the tender documentation relating to credits targeted within the BREEAM tender report, the main contractor should seek clarification from the design team. 5.6 The credits highlighted in grey refer to mandatory issues which must be achieved in order to attain the Excellent rating.
