BREEAM Refurbishment Statistics

This collection of statistical data provides a ‘snap-shot’ of refurbishment and fit-out projects certificated to BREEAM from projects assessed against BREEAM 2008 and BREEAM 2011 New Construction schemes. It provides clients, architects, contractors, building owners, design teams and assessors with knowledge about how refurbishment and fit-out projects are performing against BREEAM across the market place, helping you to identify how you compare in terms of the overall score as well as individual category scores.

Average BREEAM UK category score: Refurbishment

Refurbishment projects perform the best against the Land Use and Ecology, Management, Waste, Materials and Transport Categories, achieving at least 60% of the available score in each category. Some of this performance is likely to be attributed to the positive impacts that refurbishment typically has on retention of existing materials and minimising site impacts on ecology, due to the use of an existing developed site.

Refurbishment projects typically perform the worst against the Pollution, Energy and Health and Wellbeing categories. There are a range of reasons why refurbishment projects may not perform as well against these categories such as limitations with improving building fabric and existing site constraints. However, as indicated by the maximum score achieved this is not always the case with up to 91% being achieved for the energy section, 100% for the pollution category and 76% for the health and wellbeing category.
