Environmental Rating Systems 

Dr Paul Nieuwenhuis, Dr Peter Wells

This strand predates BRASS but was revived in 2007 through a joint venture with consultancy firm Clifford-Thames. A rating system (ERV) was developed jointly based on principles developed by BRASS. It is available to the public via the Clifford-Thames website (www.clifford-thames.com ) and has been adopted by a number of users. The collaboration received an honourable mention in the Cardiff Innovation Awards.
