12. AIPC Annual Conference 2010 – Going Green: is it Worth it? The Government set out in its Building a Greener Future - Policy Statement (July 2007) that new homes will be net zero carbon from 2016. As steps to achieving this target, energy efficiency standards for new homes are to be improved by 25 per cent in 2010 and 44 per cent in 2013 relative to current 2006 standards. The Government also wants to introduce improved energy efficiency standards for new non-domestic buildings, and in its 2008 Budget announced an ambition for all new non-domestic development to be net zero carbon from 2019. (They) are therefore proposing a similar phased improvement beginning with 25 per cent reduction in 2010 and plan to consult on the further trajectory towards zero carbon new non-domestic buildings later this year.

15. There is a lot of hype about the battle between BREEAM and LEED in the UK, but this seems to be unfounded. Both seem happy to co-exist and each has their niche areas or countries. They are even borrowing each other's ideas as they grow. BREEAM will probably always come out on top in the UK, simply because it is imbedded in the system. Government departments require BREEAM ratings of all their buildings; most local authorities require BREEAM as part of planning approval for developments over a certain size. Once projects are underway that aim to be zero carbon, the likes of BREEAM or LEED may have developed to become the global default methods of assessment BREEAM v LEED

16. AIPC Annual Conference 2010 – Going Green: is it Worth it? CONVENTION/EXHIBITION CENTRES ACC Liverpool –New facility –BREEAM 2004, Bespoke Assessment, Very Good rating, 58% final score –Credits targeted based on value added within available budget –Difficult to achieve Excellent due to type of building and frequency of use –Did not achieve renewable energy credit Manchester Central –Remodelled facility –BREEAM 2004, Bespoke Assessment, Very Good rating achieved –Location and budget constrained options

17. AIPC Annual Conference 2010 – Going Green: is it Worth it? CONCLUSION BREEAM is well established in the UK and has real credibility BREEAM is focussed at a holistic level Unlikely that a convention/exhibition specific model will be produced by the BRE UK and European development legislation on sustainability and energy use will be more onerous in the coming years The nature of convention/exhibition centres makes some sustainable solutions economically unviable Is BREEAM’s holistic approach better than LEED for convention/ exhibition centres?
