The purpose of Guidance Note 37 is to assist with optimising a project’s sustainability performance under the UK New Construction 2018 scheme. It outlines at which plan of works stage BREEAM credits should be addressed and ideally when these should be considered by the design team, planner, contractors, owners, occupiers and other members of the project team to achieve the highest possible rating at the minimum cost. It demonstrates that where BREEAM advice is taken on too late within the design and construction phases a number of BREEAM credits may not be achieved or only at additional cost or disruption.
