An Approved Innovation credit be awarded at both the interim and final assessment and certification stages.
To award a BREEAM credit for the innovation, evidence of its procurement / specification / installation must be provided to the project’s appointed BREEAM Assessor and appropriately referenced within their certification report (as with compliance against any other BREEAM criteria).
This serves to demonstrate that the criteria defined within the application form has been met (or will be met if seeking the interim certificate). The BREEAM credit for the innovation will only be considered ‘achieved’ once the final BREEAM certificate has been issued.
