🔊"A critical component of this alliance will be to demonstrate how systems like #BREEAM, #LEED and the #GBCA Green Star support #ESG reporting and ensure compliance with multiple classification frameworks, such as the EU and UK green taxonomies." 📄 With #builtenvironment accounting for around 40% of global #emissions, how are existing green building certifications evolving? While citing the industry-first alliance bringing together BRE and other key industry players to help drive the $35 trillion to meet #netzero transition goals, JLL discusses the next frontier for green building certifications: https://lnkd.in/ekZjHygw #netzero #zerocarbon #carbon #carbonemissions #ESG Tobias Lindqvist

In order to meet global energy transition goals, the built environment needs a $35 trillion investment by 2030 – representing nearly 10% of the value of global real estate. Our new sustainable finance guide is essential in kick starting this process, enhancing collaboration between the finance and real estate sectors, and serving as a vital tool driving the large-scale investments needed for sustainable retrofits to achieve climate targets. This initiative wouldn't be possible without the collaboration of our global alliance partners: Green Building Council of Australia, U.S. Green Building Council, Singapore Green Building Council, Alliance HQE - GBC, GRESB, the Climate Bonds Initiative, and CRREM - Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor.

🔊"While the #builtenvironment accounts for approximately 40% of global #emissions, 27% of emissions come from building operations. As a result, more focus should be placed on energy usage and operations geared toward #netzeroemissions." 📄 Connect CRE discusses the upgrading of green building certifications, highlighting BRE collaborations such as the UK NZC Buildings Standard and the recent industry-first guide, "Financing Transformation: A Guide to Green Building for Green Bonds and Green Loans," helping drive $35 trillion needed to reach #netzero.

📄 How can #BIM and information management support #BREEAM assessments? 🔊 "When we extract what is important to our clients, such as #sustainability goals, or working towards BREEAM, we can then translate this into asset information requirements, and #data that we wish to access during not only design and #construction but throughout the whole asset’s lifecycle," says Mike T., #BIM and Digital Construction Lead at BRE. #BIM and information management can help streamline the collection and organisation of data required for BREEAM assessments. This makes the evaluation of a building's environmental performance more accurate and efficient. Learning about BIM equips BREEAM assessors with the tools and knowledge to manage and utilise #buildingdata effectively, ultimately supporting the achievement of certification.

🔊"The primary aim of integrating Home Quality Mark was to establish a robust and comprehensive audit trail. This approach was chosen to ensure that the projects meet stringent objectives, resulting in independently verified outcomes that adhere to high standards of sustainability and quality," said Michael Gwyther-Jones of City of London Corporation. The City of London Corporation is using BRE’s Home Quality Mark (HQM) to drive #sustainability in its new social housing developments, Sydenham Hill Estate and York Way Estate projects, aiming to deliver over 200 new homes for social rent that set new benchmarks for quality and #sustainable living. 📁 Building on the trusted science behind BREEAM Official, BRE's Home Quality Mark standard has certified over 2,000 homes, and is currently being applied to over 25,000 homes across the UK and offers significant benefits for sustainable housing development, including: - Health and wellbeing: the focus on health and wellbeing in HQM aligns with the City's objectives, ensuring that housing positively impacts occupant health. - Biodiversity and environmental impact: HQM encourages biodiversity net gain and minimal environmental impact, which are vital for sustainable urban development. - Resilience to #climatechange: HQM promotes building homes resilient to future climate risks, a key aspect of sustainable development.

🔊"With the majority of fatal heat exposures in developed nations occurring indoors, the findings of our study show just how many homes in England are at risk of overheating," said research lead Professor Kevin Lomas of Loughborough University’s School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering. 📄 BRE worked with academics at Loughborough University to study the impact of extreme heat on English homes. Assessing 750 English homes, the study revealed 4.6million English bedrooms (19%) and 3.6million living rooms (15%) experienced overheating. Read study: https://lnkd.in/eN-iE4gt
