Predicted operational energy performance score – Credit table update

From 4^th February 2026, the following credit table applies to Ene 02 in all BREEAM International New Construction V7 and BREEAM UK New Construction V7 assessments:

^{*Alternatively meet the minimum EPR_NC score specified for Excellent in Ene 01.}

^{**Alternatively meet the minimum EPR_NC score specified for Outstanding in Ene 01.}

The OEP_NC scores required for each credit boundary have been lowered on the BREEAM platform in response to assessor feedback and an internal review of credit attainment against our benchmark database.
The table above supersedes:
– Table 28 in BREEAM International New Construction V7
– Table 6.3 in BREEAM UK New Construction V7

For further guidance on Ene 02 and the achievement of OEP_NC scores please refer to KBCN1751 – GN53 Energy modelling and predicted operational energy performance score in Ene 02.

The above updated credit table will be included in the next reissue of the technical manuals
