GreenBuild

This project has two strands: the development of a standard Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) scheme to cover most higher education buildings; and GreenLab, a subsidiary project which will focus on the use of the scheme and other measures to develop more sustainable laboratories. Laboratories are amongst the most energy-intensive and water-intensive of HE facilities, and also have other environmental impacts. They are also important factors in the daily experience of science and technology students and researchers, and can therefore have great potential impacts on their attitudes and behaviour.
