Purpose
Mat 01 requires the third-party verifier to demonstrate knowledge of the LCA sector, including relevant standards, EPD programmes and regulations (see Definition: Suitably qualified third party).
Examples of relevant LCA training courses
Below are examples of training courses that BRE considers as meeting this knowledge requirement, and which can support assessors and verifiers in evidencing compliance:
- CIBSE Lifecycle Carbon Assessment (LCA) Foundation Training
- Circular Ecology: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Training Course
- Cerclos: eTool Software Training
- MIT Professional Education: Life Cycle Assessment
- One Click LCA: Construction LCA Bootcamp
- RICS: Certificate in Whole Life Carbon Assessment Training Programme
This list is illustrative, not exhaustive. Completion of one of these courses is one way to evidence the knowledge requirement. It does not replace the other criteria under Suitably qualified third party. Equally, a verifier who has not completed one of the above courses may still qualify if they can otherwise demonstrate the required knowledge.
Requesting an addition to this list
Training providers or assessors wishing to propose a course for inclusion should contact breeam@bregroup.com and include BREEAM Relevant LCA training course – addition request in the Subject field.
