BREEAM Qualifications

Claudine Blamey, British Land's Corporate Responsibility Executive, last year
became the Company's first qualified BREEAM (Building Research Establishment
Environmental Assessment Method) assessor and this year added the Ecohomes
Assessment, also from Building Research Establishment. This means that Claudine
is now qualified to undertake Ecohomes and BREEAM assessments. Independent
assessors will continue to be used by British Land but the presence of qualified
in-house expertise helps new development projects achieve the highest possible
BREEAM rating.
