Consequently the sustainability targets are ‘on track’ to be met.
In particular our role which has required to have been informative and pro-active has entailed two key aspects of advice.
Namely advice regarding the estimated capital cost expenditure for design components and plant and equipment and thus enable informed design team judgements to be made relative to the potential BREEAM credit scores.

To achieve this has required regular distinct meetings and deliverables and thus enable the overall credit score to be monitored and achieved.
