Welcome to Cobuilder Training Portal
Below is an overview of the document types that can close deviations on BREEAM documentation in Cobuilder Collaborate. Which document types apply depends on the BREEAM manual the project is set up with.
BREEAM NOR 6.0/6.1.1
Mat 02 Life cycle impacts: Absence of environmental toxins
In the following document types, the content of substances that are harmful to health and the environment is pre-assessed – they automatically close documentation requirements:
- EU Ecolabel
- National technical approval
- BREEAM 6.0/6.1.1 Mat 02 Self-declaration
- Svanen
- SINTEF Environmental Certificate
The following document types give an overview of substance content – they don’t close documentation requirements automatically and must be evaluated first:
- EPD – Environmental Product Declaration
- EU Declaration of Conformity
- Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
- ECOproduct method 5.2
Hea 02 Indoor air quality: Emissions from building products
The emission and content requirements for construction products are functional requirements and can be documented in several ways. The following document types close documentation requirements automatically:
- Indoor Air Comfort Gold
- BREEAM 6.0/6.1.1 Hea 02 Self-declaration exemplary level
- BREEAM 6.0/6.1.1 Hea 02 Self-declaration
The following document types are approved, or can be accepted if they contain information about indoor air emissions according to the Hea 02 criteria – but they don’t close documentation requirements automatically and must be evaluated first:
- EPD – Environmental Product Declaration

- EU Ecolabel
- Blue Angel
- EMICODE EC1
- EMICODE EC1 PLUS
