BREEAM AP Training Launched

BREEAM AP training was launched at the RIBA Small Practice Conference yesterday (18 November 2009).  The new BREEAM AP qualification recognises specialist skills in sustainability and environmental design combined with a high level of competence in the BREEAM assessment process.

 

BREEAM APs provide the design team with expert advice on built environmental sustainability, environmental design and environmental assessment.  They will facilitate the team's efforts to successfully schedule activities, set priorities and negotiate the trade-offs required to achieve a target BREEAM rating when the design is formally assessed.  In recognition of the significant contribution a BREEAM AP can make to the design process, up to two BREEAM credits are available if a BREEAM AP is engaged from an appropriate point in a project.

 

BREEAM AP training consists of distance learning followed by a one day training workshop and examination.  A range of design professionals may be eligible to undertake the BREEAM AP qualification.
