Latest version: v1.0, June 2026
Guidance Note 55 (GN55) provides information on which credits can be evidenced fully or partially using contractual clauses. Many assessor organisations create a single BREEAM document that contains all the relevant clauses that can form part of the tender requirements and be contained in the building contract. The aim of this guidance is to provide clarity for both assessors and the BREEAM QA team on which credits can be evidenced fully or partially using this method and the information required.
The document is only applicable to BREEAM UK New Construction V7. The previous version applied to BREEAM UK NC 2018 / V6 / V6.1.
