TRA 01 - Alternative modes of transport

Erratum – up to V6.0.0 – compliant cycle storage - KBCN1595

Criteria Instead of answer C, criterion 3 should refer to answers D and E. Evidence The criteria references for this issue are incorrect, and will be corrected in the next re-issue. Checklists and tables

• Answer D awards 2 credits for achieving the minimum number of cycle storage.
• Answer E awards 1 additional credit for achieving additional cycle storage.

The headings in Table 20 do not match these answers. Table 20 will be revised with these updated headings:

Home size	Answer D Minimum cycle storage 2 credits	Answer E Additional cycle storage +1 additional credit
Studio or 1 bedroom	1 cycle space / 2 homes	1 cycle space / home
2 - 3 bedrooms	1 cycle space / home	2 cycle spaces / home
4+ bedrooms	2 cycle spaces / home	4 cycle spaces / home

Erratum – Electric Vehicles (EV) charging stations criteria - KBCN1701

In the BREEAM In-Use International Technical Manual, the  Electric Vehicles (EV) charging criteria and their evidence were incorrectly referenced. The requirements for EV charging stations should read as follows Answer G Electric Vehicles (EV) charging stations are provided for ≥5% of the car parking capacity. Methodology The methodology indicates the number of charging stations required should be calculated as a percentage of the total car parking capacity.  The ≥5%  in Answer G indicates that at least 5% of the total parking spaces in the residential development should be equipped with EV charging stations. If the number of charging facilities that should be supplied is not a whole number, it must be rounded up to the nearest whole number. For example, where the number of charging facilities that should be provided is calculated to be 10.2, the actual number of facilities that must be provided is 11. Charging stations for Car Clubs cannot count towards the percentage provided for residents. Evidence The manual incorrectly referred to criterion 7 for the EV charging stations in the evidence section. The evidence requirement should refer to Criterion 5 and should be read as follows:

Criterion	Evidence requirement
5	Calculations showing the percentage and number of charging stations
5	Site plan showing the location and number of electric vehicle charging stations
