BREEAM v7: New Construction
Towards BREEAM v7, JEB Acoustic Partitions contribute favourably on the following sections:

Indoor Air Quality
Up to 7 credits (par- tial contribution)
JEB’s independently tested VOC emission data, TVOC below 500 µg/m³ and formaldehyde below 20 µg/m³ per ISO 16000-6, contributes to Hea 04’s requirements for low-emission interior materials. JEB’s product data supports up to 2 of the available 7 credits under this category as part of a broader project IAQ strategy. JEB Acoustic Partitions are tested to ASTM E90-09 (laboratory measurement of airborne sound transmission loss) and ASTM E413-10 (STC classification), achieving ratings up to STC 49. Important note for BREEAM submissions: BREEAM Hea 06 references acoustic performance expressed as Rw (ISO 717-1) or DnT,w, the European and UK standard metrics. STC and Rw are approximately equivalent under laboratory conditions, but the Assessor will require Rw confirmation. Provide JEB’s acoustic test reports to the project’s acoustic consultant to confirm Rw values prior to submission. JEB’s product-specific Type III EPDs cover lifecycle stages A1–A5 (product manufacture and construction installation), C1–C4 (end-of-life deconstruction, transport, and waste processing), and Module D (beyond-boundary recycling and recovery benefits). Module B (in-use stage) has been omitted as it is not material to the service life of partition and door systems. This scope supports project-level LCA submissions at concept, technical design and as-built stages, positioning projects well for multiple Mat 01 credits.
