You no longer have to travel do BREEAM training. We have organised BREEAM training in Dublin in conjunction with BRE Academy Scotland. IGBC members can avail of a special IGBC discount.
On-line Learning and 1 day Workshop/Examination.
BREEAM AP qualification is open to suitably experienced construction professionals who already have a good knowledge of environmental design and the design process, and wish to deliver buildings to meet BREEAM certification requirements.
In recognition of the significant contribution a BREEAM AP can make to the design process, extra credits are given in some BREEAM schemes for appointing and using an AP. The following schemes recognise the BREEAM AP qualification:
- BREEAM New Construction 2011 (UK)
- BREEAM International New Construction 2013
- BREEAM Domestic Refurbishment 2012
The Role
The BREEAM AP will provide the design team with expert advice on built environment 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.
