BREEAM Strategy Management

Inbuilt - Bates HMP LittleheyInbuilt provided pre-planning support and produced a comprehensive Energy Strategy report for the development.
Inbuilt assisted the design team in delivering BREEAM Excellent across a development of twelve buildings including four house blocks, a Sports Hall, Kitchen, Administration building, Education and Multi-faith facilities, Segregation unit, Visitors centre, Reception and Healthcare facilities and Workshops at HMP Littlehey II Young Offender's Institute.

The additional challenges presented by individual sub-contractors for the buildings required significant management of the BREEAM strategy, which differed for each building. Inbuilt also coordinated the required Ecological and Arboricultural surveys.

Environmental Features

The diverse site wide strategy included:

  • Site wide biomass heating strategy
  • Natural ventilation strategy
  • Modular construction in houseblocks
  • Responsibly sourced materials
  • Rainwater recycling
  • SUDs strategy
  • Building services whole life performance analysis
  • Outstanding CCS scores and site waste management

"Dealing with Inbuilt and their specialist team has been a delight; they would review and recommend design changes and constantly reappraise the facts they were presented with until we were able to raise the challenging MoJ expectation of BREEAM 'Very Good' to 'Excellent'."
