When London won the right to host the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the bid team pledged to treat sustainability as a priority. The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) commissioned a bespoke version of BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology). for use on the permanent Olympic venues, including the Olympic Stadium, Aquatics Centre, Velodrome, Media Centre, Eton Manor and the Handball Arena. The scope of this bespoke assessment spans the design and construction stages from the pre-Games phase through to legacy post-Games transformation. Developing the bespoke BREEAM assessment method was a challenging scenario. This research paper, published by the ODA, explains why BREEAM was selected and how a new, bespoke version was developed and applied. Particular reference is made to two venues: the Aquatics Centre and the Velodrome.
