Assessing Health and Wellbeing in BuildingsAlignment between BREEAM and the WELL Building StandardTM

Version 2: January 2018

BRE and the International WELL Building Institute™ (IWBI™) are collaborating to promote health and wellbeing in the design, construction and operation of buildings and fit-outs, internationally. The two organisations announced their collaboration in November 2016 with the aim to make it more efficient for clients and project teams to pursue both of their respective standards: BREEAM and the WELL Building Standard™ (WELL).

Given that people in the developed world, on average, spend over 90% of their lives in and around buildings, both IWBI and BRE recognise the value and complementary nature of measuring and recognising health and wellbeing elements of building design, construction and operation in the context of a holistic assessment of environmental and social impacts within the built-environment.

Since its launch in 1990, BREEAM has set evidence based standards that go beyond regulatory requirements and standard practice. This includes requirements to optimise internal environments and encourage healthier lifestyles as a part of a broad and holistic evaluation of a building’s social, environmental and economic impacts and benefits. BRE and IWBI recognise the value to the property sector of a wellbeing focused building certification process that sits alongside this holistic rating and are working together to ensure that this can be met efficiently where a client need exists.

To simplify the process for project teams pursuing both assessment methods, BRE and IWBI have worked together to compare performance requirements, harmonise evidence and identify opportunities to streamline the process of achieving dual certification. This work demonstrates the significant synergies between the two methods and the efficiencies that exist between their respective assessment and certification processes. It forms a part of an ongoing collaboration between BRE and IWBI to work together to harmonise their approach to health and wellbeing in the built environment across their standards, research programmes and services generally.

IntroductionThis document is intended for projects wishing to obtain both a certified BREEAM rating and WELL Certification. It identifies the synergies between the BREEAM and WELL technical requirements in order to help streamline both assessment processes. It highlights the BREEAM credits that can be used to demonstrate compliance with WELL features and, conversely, the WELL features that can be used to demonstrate compliance with BREEAM assessment issues. This will enable project teams to use the same evidence in the assessment processes for both methods.

WELL is an international standard and consequently addresses a number of issues that are already covered by regulations in the UK and across the EU. For this reason, the document also sets out the areas where WELL requirements are aligned with UK and/or EU regulations.

BRE and IWBI will work together to update this document as and when BREEAM and WELL standards are significantly updated or modified.

Purpose of this document

About BREEAM

BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is the world’s first sustainability rating scheme for the built environment. Through its application and use, BREEAM helps clients to measure and reduce the impacts of their buildings and in doing so, create higher value, lower risk assets that are better for people and the environment.

About the WELL Building StandardTM

The WELL Building Standard™ (WELL) is the first building standard to focus exclusively on the health and wellness of people in buildings. WELL is a performance-based system for measuring and certifying features of buildings that impact human health and wellbeing, through air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort and mind. It marries best practices in design and construction with evidence-based medical and scientific research – harnessing buildings and communities as a vehicle to support human wellbeing.

The document maps requirements between the WELL Building Standard v1 (Q4 2017 version) and the following BREEAM scheme versions:

• BREEAM UK New Construction 2014 (UK NC 2014)

• BREEAM UK Refurbishment and Fit-out 2014 (UK RFO 2014)

• BREEAM International New Construction 2016 (INC 2016)1

• BREEAM International Refurbishment and Fit-out 2015 (IRFO 2015)1

• BREEAM In-Use International 2015 (In-Use 2015)1

• BREEAM USA In-Use 2016 (USA In-Use 2016)2

This document is split into four sections:

1. An introductory section outlining the overall approach taken to identify the overlaps between the BREEAM and WELL assessment and certification processes.

2. Appendix A sets out the BREEAM credits that overlap with WELL feature parts.

3. Appendix B sets out the WELL feature parts that overlap with the International and UK versions of the BREEAM New Construction scheme and BREEAM Refurbishment and Fit-out scheme requirements.

4. Appendix C sets out the WELL feature parts that overlap with the International and USA versions of the BREEAM In-Use scheme requirements.

In addition to setting out mutual equivalencies, the appendices also highlight the issues where aims and objectives are aligned, but where the level of performance and/or assessment methodology required by BREEAM and WELL are different. In such cases, evidence must still be submitted for review by the appropriate assessment body to demonstrate full compliance with the requirements of each scheme.

Table A defines the different levels of overlap that have been used in the mapping exercise and are documented in the Appendices.

This updated crosswalk includes edits and revisions, which are intended to be helpful to projects concurrently pursuing both BREEAM and WELL Certification. Therefore projects should reference the most current version of this Briefing Paper when submitting documentation to BRE and/or IWBI (via WELLOnline). For questions on how to apply the overlaps to a registered or future WELL project, please email the project’s WELL coaching contact or [email protected]. For questions on how to apply the overlaps to a registered BREEAM project, please email [email protected].

How to use this document

1 In addition to BRE Global’s BREEAM International schemes, BREEAM also supports a number of National Scheme Operators (NSOs) across the world. The NSOs affiliated to BREEAM and their local schemes are listed on the BREEAM website (http://www.breeam.com). These local schemes must be used for international assessments where relevant, in these instances, contact your local NSO for further information. Where a building falls outside of the scope of these local schemes, the pan country BRE Global BREEAM International schemes can be used.2 BREEAM USA In-Use is operated by BRE America (http://www.breeamusa.com).

Table A - level of overlap used in the Appendices

Symbol Overlap assignment Definition

EquivalentFormal certification under one standard can be used as evidence of full compliance with the other. The awarded feature or credit can be used as verification that the requirement has been satisfied.

Aligned

The outcomes and/or methodologies are aligned but there are material differences between the requirements of the standards (e.g. the required performance levels may be different). The project will still need to meet the verification requirements for the relevant scheme.

− Not applicableAppendix A only – The requirements are not covered by BREEAM and so will require full assessment under WELL.

UKR / EUR UK / EU regulationAppendix A only – UK or EU regulation is aligned with the WELL feature. The project will still need to comply with the verification method in WELL.

BREEAM compliant WELL evidenceAppendix B only – WELL evidence may be used to demonstrate full or partial compliance with the BREEAM requirements but formal review will be required by the BREEAM Assessor.

IWBI has evaluated the mapping for entire features or parts that are satisfied by BREEAM credits or UK / EU regulations.

When the level of overlap is considered equivalent, it indicates that a BREEAM credit has been evaluated and deemed an acceptable strategy to achieve the requirement of the corresponding WELL feature part. The awarded BREEAM credit can be used as verification that the requirement has been satisfied. For the BREEAM New Construction and BREEAM Refurbishment and Fit-out schemes, the credit must have been awarded at the post-construction stage.

Claiming BREEAM credits in the WELL Building Standard

Appendix A maps the equivalencies between BREEAM credits and WELL features for the purpose of carrying out a WELL assessment on a building that has been BREEAM assessed.

Note: The overlaps in Appendix A for the BREEAM Refurbishment and Fit-out schemes assume that a fully fitted building is undertaking assessment against Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the scheme and that a Core & Shell building is undertaking assessment against Parts 1, 2 and 3.

Where a project has achieved, or is pursuing one of the aforementioned BREEAM schemes and seeks to apply these efforts to achieve a WELL feature, the project should submit the following during WELL documentation review:

• Short report identifying which BREEAM credits are being used to claim WELL features, in line with the guidance in Appendix A;

• Proof of BREEAM certification; and

• Awarded BREEAM credits that have been deemed equivalent to WELL parts (in lieu of the ascribed WELL verification method in Appendix D of the WELL Building Standard).

BREEAM credits awarded through interpretations are not automatically awarded for WELL and must be submitted as Alternative Adherence Paths (AAPs).

WELL Performance Verification can be scheduled if BREEAM credits have not yet been awarded, but these WELL features will not be deemed achieved until the BREEAM certification has been awarded and proof of certification and awarded credits are submitted.

For WELL features which require annual reporting, projects must still submit the relevant information gathered to IWBI (e.g. F86: Post occupancy survey).

WELL Certification usually occurs after the building has been fully occupied for a period of time and post occupancy testing and surveys have been carried out to demonstrate performance in operation. Whilst there is a defined WELL documentation review process prior to performance verification, this does not result in formal certification. Consequently for the majority of projects assessed under the BREEAM New Construction and BREEAM Refurbishment and Fit-out schemes, where certification is awarded at the post construction stage and prior to occupancy, final WELL Certification is unlikely to be available at this time. Consequently Appendix B maps WELL features against the BREEAM credit requirements and indicates where evidence prepared for WELL may be used to justify full or partial compliance with requirements for BREEAM New Construction and Refurbishment and Fit out schemes. Where final WELL certification is not available, formal review of the WELL evidence will be required by the BREEAM Assessor. Appendix B also indicates where outcomes are broadly aligned.

BREEAM In-Use certification occurs during occupation and as such it is possible to use formal WELL Certification against specific WELL features to demonstrate compliance with BREEAM In-Use requirements. Appendix C maps WELL features against BREEAM In-Use requirements and indicates where WELL Certification can be used to demonstrate compliance with the BREEAM assessment requirements without further or additional assessment. It also indicates where outcomes are broadly aligned.

Claiming WELL Certification as a means of demonstrating compliance with BREEAM criteria

For New Construction and Refurbishment and Fit-out assessments, evidence should be submitted to the licensed BREEAM assessor in the normal way and, in turn, they will reference and submit as part of their assessment report to BRE when they request certification. The BREEAM assessor should identify in their report, against the relevant assessment issues, where evidence provided relates to certification under both BREEAM and WELL.

For BREEAM In-Use assessments, entries in the assessment tool should make specific reference to the relevant WELL assessment/certification and evidence documentation. It is important that this referencing fully identifies those BREEAM credits that are being justified through the provision of WELL Certification in line with the guidance provided in this document. Proof of WELL Certification will be required as supporting evidence by the Assessor and BRE in lieu of the ascribed evidence outlined in the relevant BREEAM In-Use Technical Manual for each instance where compliance with a WELL feature is claimed as evidence of compliance with BREEAM In-Use.
