Up to five credits - Accessibility Index
1
The public transport Accessibility Index (AI) for the assessed building is calculated and BREEAM credits awarded in accordance with the building types, AI benchmarks and BREEAM credits in
Table 30
2
The Accessibility Index is determined by entering the following information in to the BREEAM Tra 01 calculator:
2.a
The distance (m) from the main building entrance to each compliant public transport node
2.b
The public transport types serving the compliant node, e.g. bus or rail
2.c
The average number of services stopping per hour at each compliant node during the operating hours of the building for a typical day (see compliance notes and
Table 31
OR
One credit - Dedicated bus service
3
For buildings with a fixed shift pattern, i.e. where building users will predominantly arrive or depart at set times, one credit can be awarded where the building occupier provides, or commits to providing a dedicated bus service to and from the building at the beginning and end of each shift or day.
This credit is only available in cases where a development is unable to achieve any of the available credits using the Accessibility Index criteria (i.e. its location has a low public transport Accessibility Index).
