    Helping the NHS achieve excellence at Chase Farm Hospital

    Devised in the 1990s by the Building Research Establishment (BRE),ย theย Buildingย Researchย Establishmentย Environmentalย Assessmentย Method (BREEAM) is the established methodย forย assessing, rating and certifying the sustainability and environmental performance of buildings. It recognises and reflects the value in higherperforming assets across the built environment lifecycle, from new construction to in-use and refurbishedย structures. In 2015,ย Integrated Health Projects (IHP), a joint venture between VINCI Construction UK Ltd and Sir Robert McAlpine, appointed RSK as the BREEAM Assessor for the programme of construction at the NHS Chase Farm Hospital in the London Borough of Enfield, UK, part of the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust. RSKย also actedย as the BREEAM Accreditedย Professionalย and worked extensively on the project.ย ย 

    ย Ourย Assessor reviewed all the relevant project dataย and met with and advised the client on the most economical and environmentally advantageous way of achieving the required rating; thisย included identifyingย whichย credits could be targeted in the pre-assessment and whichย required additional consultancy, surveys and testing to outline additional costs and/or savings. Throughout the project, theย Assessor was available to offer advice and guidance and attend meetings with the design team to streamline the process. We also created and shared letter templates and example evidence to assist the design team in providing compliant evidence. This provided efficiencies for the project and helpedย toย ensureย thatย evidence was compliant first time.ย 

    ย Weย have created several bespoke tools,ย including a BREEAM credit tracker, which outlinesย accepted and outstandingย evidence, deadline dates and clarification notes. The tool works on a trafficlight system and displays updates and improvements on credit achievement, which focused the team and helpedย toย progress the BREEAM Assessment at Chase Farm Hospital.ย ย 

    We wrote evidence in real time, so the final reports and assessment tools were updated throughout,ย which enabled us to submit to the BRE for certification once the final piece of evidence was complete. This saved time overall. The hospital achieved a final BREEAM rating of โ€˜Excellentโ€™,ย in line with theย trustโ€™s requirements.ย 

    ย Overall, we wrote evidence in real time, so the final reports and assessment tools were live throughout the project. This alleviated duplication and saved time. We finalised all the data and submitted them for post-construction review assessment. The hospital achieved a final BREEAM rating of excellent and opened ahead of schedule to service the community.
