BREEAM Hea 06 Explained: What Developers Need to Know About Security Credits

Reset

Under BREEAM, Hea 06 relates to ‘Security of Site and Building’ and offers credits for integrating security considerations into your development.

To gain the credit, a Security Needs Assessment must be carried out by a qualified consultant, covering crime risk analysis and tailored design responses. This must be done by RIBA Stage 2 to align with design development.

At Graphite Security, we provide Hea 06-compliant SNAs that:

● Assess local crime data
● Review proposed site layout
● Recommend proportionate security features
● Include consultation with local stakeholders or police

The result? You gain planning benefits, improve user safety, and contribute to overall BREEAM certification.
