Introduction of green building evaluation system in Britain?

Green building refers to a building that saves resources, land, water and materials to the maximum extent, protects the environment, reduces pollution, provides healthy, applicable and efficient use, and lives in harmony with nature during the whole life cycle of the building. At present, the trend of green building is rising all over the world. What is the evaluation system of green buildings abroad? The following is an introduction to the British green building evaluation system brought by Construction Network for your reference.

British Green Building Assessment System (BREE-AM)

Because of its own geographical characteristics (such as relatively little land resources, surrounded by the sea and so on). ) and early economic development, Britain is very concerned about environmental issues, and is one of the countries where green building started earlier. 1990 the environmental white paper issued by the government clearly lists "sustainable development" as a national strategy that must be followed in future construction. 1997 version of Notes on Planning Policy 1 and its latest substitute, Notes on Planning Policy Statement 2004 version 1, and a series of documents related to planning and design have repeatedly reiterated that green building and sustainable development are the most important in all planning and design activities.

1965, the thermal conductivity of building envelope was introduced into the design code for the first time in Britain to control the heat loss of new houses, and the standard was revised several times in the following 40 years, and the requirements of the code for the thermal performance of building envelope were also constantly improving. In addition, the 2006 code introduced the index of "CO2 emission rate per square meter of building area" (DER), and comprehensively considered the influence of other thermal factors (such as building air tightness and electrical efficiency) on energy consumption. BREEAM, a British green building assessment system, and EcoHomes, its residential assessment version, are not mandatory regulations. In 2006, the British government issued the guidelines for sustainable housing. This regulation is similar to BREEAM evaluation system, but the evaluation content is more detailed and comprehensive, and the standard is stricter. From the end of 2007, the UK officially launched the "Energy Performance Certificate" issued by the government. A new plan announced by the British government requires that all new houses should meet the standard of zero carbon dioxide emission by 20 16.
