BREEAM Infrastructure (formerly CEEQUAL) is the evidence-based sustainability assessment, rating and awards scheme for civil engineering, infrastructure, landscaping, and public realm projects. It aims to deliver improved project specification, design, and construction of civil engineering works.
Underpinned by science, BREEAM Infrastructure gives project teams influence and support to develop and design in a sustainable way. All BREEAM Infrastructure assessments are undertaken by a trained and registered BREEAM Infrastructure Assessor, who is normally part of the project team.
This training course enables you to become a BREEAM Infrastructure Projects Assessor, equipping you with the knowledge and skills to influence and assess sustainability across civil engineering projects.
Becoming a BREEAM Infrastructure Assessor gives you the opportunity to actively drive environmental sustainability in infrastructure projects, covering key aspects such as management, communities and stakeholders, resilience, land use and ecology, landscape and historic environment, pollution, resources, and transport.
After completing the course, learners will be able to:
- Drive sustainability into every infrastructure project.
- Understand the BREEAM Infrastructure Projects process and the context for its development.
- Navigate and be confident in assessing the technical aspects of the BREEAM Projects scheme.
- Understand the assessment process and the support in place for the scheme and assessors.
- Understand the certification process.
- Successfully carry out BREEAM Infrastructure Projects assessments.
At a glance
Learners may include both those who are applying for a BREEAM Infrastructure Projects assessment and those with a general interest. This might include:
- Individuals or teams required to deliver a BREEAM Infrastructure Projects assessment.
- Organisations that wish to use BREEAM Infrastructure Projects.
- Learners with a general interest in improving civil engineering or public works performance.
Knowledge of civil engineering, public realm works, or environmental and sustainability issues is beneficial, but not required.
This course covers the following content:
- Background to BREEAM Infrastructure and why it has been developed.
- The BREEAM Infrastructure Projects scheme and assessment process.
- Use of the appropriate BREEAM Infrastructure technical manual, including basic skills required and the Assessor’s role.
- The environmental and social issues covered by the scheme, including management, communities and stakeholders, resilience, land use and ecology, landscape and historic environment, pollution, resources, and transport.
- Study of each category of the assessment including the nature of the questions, reasons for their inclusion and scoping-out advice.
- The BREEAM Infrastructure Projects scoping, assessment, and verification process.
