BREEAM AP: Unlocking Project Success with a BREEAM Advisory Professional
When: Wednesday 20 May 2026, 11:00am BST
As sustainability expectations continue to rise across the built environment, delivering successful BREEAM outcomes is becoming more complex. The BREEAM Advisory Professional (AP) plays a key role in helping project teams navigate this complexity; bringing clarity, structure, and strategic direction from the earliest stages.
Join us for a live panel discussion exploring the real value of the BREEAM AP and how early involvement can significantly improve project outcomes.
This session will delve into the purpose and evolution of the BREEAM Accredited Professional (AP) role, highlighting how APs add value throughout design, construction and project delivery. We’ll examine the importance of early‑stage sustainability strategy, demonstrate how APs help project teams coordinate effectively, prioritise actions and achieve their target ratings, and share real‑world examples where AP involvement has driven stronger outcomes. The session will also outline who should consider becoming a BREEAM AP and the benefits it can bring to their professional practice.
