- This paper explores the mapping of the environmental assessment process onto design and construction processes by providing a comparison of eight BREEAM projects to identify and account for variations in the ‘fit’ between design and construction. This is essential for providing insights about the relation between BREEAM assessor and project level characteristics. Drawing on insights from literature on sustainable construction and assessment methods, an analytic framework is developed to examine the effect of clusters of project and assessment level elements on different types of fit, and hence reported the challenges for assessors, BRE, professional firms and policy makers.
