Green Building Standards: Through the lens of paints and coatings

This CPD introduces two widely used green building rating schemes: LEED® v4.1 Building Design + Construction and BREEAM New Construction, focusing on BREEAM International 2016 and the BREEAM UK 2018 adaptation. It then puts a magnifying glass onto areas where paints and coatings can contribute towards a project’s LEED or BREEAM certification while also noting some nuances between the two standards. By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of:
- The proliferation of green building rating schemes existing worldwide and identify focus areas or recurring themes for materials
- The structure, terminology and scoring methods to determine a project’s LEED or BREEAM rating
- How to identify specific contribution opportunities for paints and coatings including pathways or methodology, standard and exemplary level criteria, thresholds and documentation options for evidence
- The different underlying standards that are referenced within the relevant LEED credits or BREEAM assessment issues for compliance
