BREEAM Higher Education Update

19th November 2008

An update and supporting materials on the BREEAM Higher Education scheme have been posted on www.heepi.org.uk. This includes version 2.0 of the assessor’s manual – open for feedback until November 26th – and a proposed credit scheme for laboratories (in the minutes of the Oxford meeting on the topic).

HEEPI is also looking for universities which would be interested in working with it on lab-related events on March 2, 3 or 4th, when Geoffrey Bell, one of the main technical experts at the US Labs initiative, is visiting the UK. This could include hosting a workshop showcasing a new/refurbished laboratory with good sustainability features, and/or holding an early stage internal laboratory design workshop with participation by Geoffrey and possibly other UK lab experts. Please contact Peter James if you are interested or for further information.
