Assessments of owner-occupied or common areas only assets - KBCN0804

In situations where an asset is owner-occupied, or if there are no tenanted areas within the assessed area, it is still possible to achieve credits under MAN 11. Instead of awarding credits based on green leases with tenants, credits can be awarded based on the owner/manager having in place policies/processes outlining specific targets (considering at least energy, water and waste efficient practices) applicable to the assessed area. With regards to the evidence required in this scenario: the assessor must submit documents (which could include, but are not limited to, contracts or policies) that outline how the owner/manager has set and measured these targets.

Calculating the percentage of tenants - KBCN0805

Where calculations are undertaken to determine the percentage of tenants covered by a compliant green lease agreement, only those tenants that are part of the assessed area must be taken into account. Where tenants are not part of the BREEAM In-Use assessment, they must be excluded. Please note: the calculation for the percentage of compliant tenants must be based on the number of tenants, not on the floor area.
