lindab | BREEAM BREEAM BREEAM (BRE Environmental Assessment Method) is an environmental certification system from United Kingdom. A building’s environmental performance is assessed in a number of different areas such as energy use, indoor climate and choice of materials. Points for each area are accumulated and then aggregated into an overall score and a rating. The BREEAM ratings are: Outstanding, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Pass and Unclassified. Lindab’s role in BREEAM certification Lindab can help to accumulate points in a range of different areas. There are no BREEAM-approved products, the choice of a product is based on how the highest number of points can be achieved in the different areas. Higher scores and ratings can be achieved by selecting our products and constructing air-tight, energy-efficient systems. Our complete product portfolio and associated documentation promote the basis for an optimal solution and a complete final system documentation to the end customer. 5.0 Management and control – MAN 04 commissioning and handover (No. of points available: 4) To encourage a properly planned handover and commissioning process that reflects the needs of the building occupants. Lindab offers product documentation such as product data sheets, safety data sheets, and performance declarations. Lindab also has decided to issue building product declarations (BPD) for all key products sold to customers. BPD is a Swedish form for reporting environmental information for construction products. This includes, for example, a detailed list of all ingoing materials and substances, how to recycle the product, and facts about the environmental impact. 6.0 Health and wellbeing – HEA 02 Indoor air quality (No. of points available depends on building type) To recognise and encourage a healthy internal environment through the specification and installation of appropriate ventilation, equipment and finishes. Build tight – A good indoor climate has a great impact on how people understand and use information. Indoor air can be five times more polluted than outdoor air. Lindab’s motto is ”Build tight, ventilate right” ventilate right” which in turn requires FTX-systems; mechanical supply and exhaust air with heat recovery. In this way, the outdoor air can be filtered and cooled or heated while hazardous substances and moisture are removed from the building in an energy- efficient manner. This creates the best conditions for the people using the building. Visit our website to find out more about our wide range of ventilation systems. 4
