EVENT TOPIC

BREEAM is the world's foremost environmental assessment method and rating system for buildings. It was created as a cost-effective means of bringing sustainable value to development helping investors, developers, design and construction teams, and occupiers, to use natural resources more efficiently.  BREEAM has also promoted the health and wellbeing of those that use buildings since its launch in 1990 and will continue to be at the leading edge in promoting healthier solutions. 

This event is relevant across the built environment, particularly those providing architectural, construction, BIM, sustainability, environmental, refurbishment, waste management and workplace wellbeing services. 

ABOUT OUR SPEAKERS

David Leonard is the UK & International BREEAM New Construction Manager at BRE. David manages a team of 17 and is involved in developing bespoke sustainability criteria for BREEAM assessments across numerous major projects, including Heathrow Terminal 2, the Franshion Green Building Exhibition Centre in China and the Roland Garros Stadium Modernisation in Paris.

Dr Chris Ward (BREEAM Principal Consultant) is responsible for managing BREEAM’s research programme including maintaining the BREEAM research strategy, identification of research needs and potential funding mechanisms.
