Look up to help achieve BREEAM
A quantifiable means of achieving BREEAM points is being pioneered by Hambleside Danelaw, via its Zenon GRP rooflights.
Manufactured in the UK, Zenon GRP in-plane rooflights are the first of their kind to attain an independently assessed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). The accreditation enables a contribution of 1.5 points towards a building’s BREEAM rating. Zenon’s EPD applies to a range of site-assembled and composite panel rooflight configurations.
“Rooflights have always been acknowledged as contributing towards BREEAM, but it has always been an intangible element,” explains Paul Hanratty, Hambleside Danelaw National Sales Manager Rooflights. “The EPD makes that contribution tangible, quantifiable; it gives reliable evidence.”
A CPD on the topic is available from the company. 01327 701900
