Collaborating Organisations
The idea for BREEAM Infrastructurewas born at a meeting of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE)’s Environment & Sustainability Board in 1999. ICE supported BREEAM Infrastructure through the feasibility study and development stage via its Research & Development Enabling Fund.
ACE represents the collective views and business interests of the consultancy and engineering industry in the UK, and they champion infrastructure and the built environment to stakeholders and government. ACE was one of the organisations represented on the Project Advisory Group during the development of the BREEAM Infrastructure assessment methodology and Manual.
The Civil Engineering Contractors Association (CECA), the representative body for civil engineering contractors, was one of BREEAM Infrastructure’s development partners and has been promoting the Scheme since its launch in 2003.
The Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) is the professional body for water and environmental managers, dedicated to sustainable management of the environment. CIWEM were another of BREEAM Infrastructure’s development partners and they have been promoting the Scheme since its launch in 2003.
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) represents over 150,000 civil engineering professionals in 177 countries. BREEAM Infrastructure worked with ASCE in 2009 to assist in the development of a US equivalent to BREEAM Infrastructure – Envision.
(Formerly Australian Green Infrastructure Council)
ISCA are an industry body that operates in Australia and New Zealand and promotes sustainability outcomes in infrastructure. BREEAM Infrastructure collaborated with ISCA to develop a sustainability assessment and rating tool for infrastructure projects in Australia.
