BRE delays retrofit standard

摘要

The launch of a BREEAM standard for retrofit in non-domestic buildings has been delayed by a year. At the launch of its most recent iteration of BREEAM for new buildings in July last year, the BRE said that it would develop the standard by 2012. But it is now not expected to be ready until mid to late 2013. Gavin Summerson, manager of BREEAM Refurb at the BRE, said it had taken longer to develop the standard than expected. "I think people would like it to be fully tested," he added.
