01 Occupant’s life cycle cost report: crit 2 - KBCN1656

Crit 2 currently says: An Occupant's report, based on the most up-to-date LCC analysis (see crit 1), is available to potential occupants prior to a commitment to purchase. However Crit 2 should say: An Occupant's report, based on the most up-to-date LCC analysis (see crit 1), is available to potential owner prior to a commitment to purchase. This will  be corrected in the next reissue of the technical manual.

VOC product emission certificates – validity - KBCN1689

Where it can be demonstrated that construction product emission certificates were valid either at the time of specification, or at time of purchase, they may contribute to awarding credits.

BREEAM is primarily trying to encourage designers to take construction product emissions into consideration when specifying or selecting products and as such it is not necessary for certification to be valid at the time of design or post-construction stage submissions.
