BREEAM In-Use Statistics Data based on May 2013 figures
Statistics based upon May 2013 dataP:1
This collection of statistical data provides a ‘snap-shot’ of certificated assets to BREEAM In-Use. This analysis will provide information on ratings achieved by certified assets, as well as details on location, building type and age of building. The analysis is provided for Parts 1, 2 and 3 of the BREEAM In-Use standard, details are outlined within the table below. The statistics exclude data from National Scheme Operators (NSOs). NSOs are licensed to operate BREEAM In-Use in different territories. Further information on NSOs can be located at www.breeam.com/inuse.
BREEAM In-Use Assessment Parts
Part 1 Asset performance – the inherent performance characteristics of the building based on its built form, construction and services
Part 2 Building management performance – the management policies, procedures and practices related to the operation of the asset; the actual consumption of key resources such as energy, water and other consumables; and environmental impacts such as carbon and waste generation
Part 3 Occupier management – the understanding and implementation of management policies, procedures and practices; staff engagement; and delivery of key outputs
Average BREEAM In-Use RatingBREEAM In-Use assessments are categorised by six star ratings. The charts below indicate the percentage of certified asset ratings for each assessment part. The nature of the BREEAM In-Use scheme is to allow organisations to improve their performance over time; it is anticipated that as improvements are made and assets are re-certified, this will be reflected in the score ratings.
The charts above indicate that ‘Pass’ and ‘Good’ ratings are the most commonly attained ratings for each of the assessment parts. Since the November 2012 statistics, there has been an increase in ‘Good’ and ‘Very Good’ ratings for each of the assessment parts. For full details regarding how the assessment ratings are determined, please see the BREEAM In-Use Scheme Document (SD096) at www.breeam.com/inuse

Building Age Uptake of BREEAM In-UseThe BREEAM In-Use methodology may be applied to buildings of all ages. The different parts of BREEAM In-Use have varying requirements regarding the length of occupancy prior to undertaking the assessment. Part 1 does not require any level of occupancy; Part 2 assessments may only be undertaken if the asset has been occupied for at least one year prior to assessment; Part 3 assessments require an occupancy period of one year prior to assessment

Statistics based upon May 2013 dataP:8
Building Type Uptake of BREEAM In-UsePart 1 and 2 of BREEAM In-Use are applicable to a wide range of building types. The charts below show how the BREEAM In-Use standard has been utilised across a range of building types. The majority of buildings undertaking the BREEAM In-Use assessment are from the commercial sector (Offices and Retail), these properties account for around two thirds of the assets certified.
Part 3 of the BREEAM In-Use standard is currently only applicable to offices; future development to the BREEAM In-Use scheme is likely to enable other building types to undertake Part 3.

BREEAM In-Use Statistics Data based on May 2013 figures
Statistics based upon May 2013 dataP:12
BREEAM In-Use Re-measurementsThe BREEAM In-Use scheme encourages building owners, managers and occupiers to continuously maintain and improve the asset and building related management practices. BREEAM In-Use certificates are valid for a year. Clients can re-measure (re-assess) their asset at any point, re-measurement gives the potential to gain a higher BREEAM In-Use rating.
The majority of the BREEAM In-Use re-measurements show a marked increase in the overall BREEAM rating. The average improvement for Part 1 of BREEAM In-Use is 6% and for Part 2 is 21% based upon initial re-measurement figures. The improvements indicate the positive improvement that BREEAM In-Use has had on assessments re-measuring. For full details regarding how the assessment ratings are determined, please see the BREEAM In-Use Scheme Document (SD096) at www.breeam.com/inuse. Please also see the average BREEAM In-Use rating section of this document.
Note: For Part 3 Occupier Management data is not sufficient for statistical purposes.
