BRE and the Door and Hardware Federation (DHF) have developed this comprehensive and practical one-day virtual classroom training course that provides important details that must be addressed when installing and maintaining steel hinged fire doors. Repair and maintenance of a life-safety device such as a fire door is imperative. On this expert-led virtual classroom course, you’ll learn how going maintenance is a vital preventive measure to ensure that the door set operates correctly at all times.

BREEAM In-Use Version 6 Client User Guide

BREEAM In-Use (BIU) is a comprehensive and holistic environmental assessment method that can be used for almost any type of building, including commercial and residential assets, across the world. Since its creation in 2009, BREEAM In-Use has been used by thousands of assets in over 30 countries to benchmark, improve and certify their sustainability performance and to showcase high standards of ESG. BIU Version 6 offers the latest in environmental standards with tailored approaches for both commercial and residential assets These approaches create, protect and grow asset value by encouraging investment in the asset’s performance. As part of the BIU V6 offering, an online platform is provided to allow Clients (asset owners and managers) to assess the performance of their assets, measure how they perform against BREEAM criteria and submit their evidence for certification via an Assessor. This platform user guide will help Clients to familiarize themselves with the platform and understand its features.

Learning objectives

• BREEAM Basics - how BREEAM works and the mechanism behind getting a rating.
• How to register, measure and certify your asset using the platform.
• Introduction to our portfolio approach.
• Background on our National scheme operators (NSOs).

Who is this for?

Introduction to SABRE | Free SABRE Course

SABRE inspires property designers, developers, owners and occupiers to adopt a systematic, risk-based approach to security in and around their built assets. This makes the return on investment in security much more visible, quantifiable and justifiable, whilst enabling security to become better integrated into a building’s design, construction and operation. This course provides an overview of the built asset life cycle stages SABRE can cover, the assessment process and timeline, and the key principles of certification that ensure the reliability, impartiality and comparability of a SABRE rating to give added value to your any project or operational facility. The course finally summarises the benefits that SABRE assessment and certification can bring to a range of stakeholders. N.B. BRE Global (incorporating LPCB and SABRE) is a CPD partner of the Security Institute. Therefore, this course is worth double points to those demonstrating Continual Professional Development through the Security Institute’s learning platform. This course is intended to last 1 hour, and as such is worth 2 Security Institute CPD points.

Learning Objectives

• Identify the benefits of using SABRE;
• Understand the scheme structure and how it applies at each stage of a built asset’s lifecycle;
• Identify the role of the SABRE Assessor;
• Understand how a project or built asset is assessed and rated in SABRE; and
• Understand the importance of certification.
