BREEAM Wiki promotes the uptake of sustainability by disseminating BREEAM best practice and lessons learnt, and making it easier for a diverse range of collaborators to share their knowledge. The development of the Wiki comes at a time when there is increasing evidence that crowd-sourced knowledge is more comprehensive and representative.<\/p>\n<p>There are already more than 160 articles on BREEAM Wiki, together with a specially-written series of Issue Support Documents created to disseminate the most immediately-useful information for individual sustainability topics.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Thistlethwaite of BREEAM said: \u2018We have set up the BREEAM Wiki within Designing Buildings with an emphasis on ease and accessibility. It is designed to allow a wide range of interested parties to contribute. You can add a single line to an existing article and add value in less than a minute. The wisdom of the crowd often outstrips that of a few experts and that is a resource that we want to harness.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Co-founder of Designing Buildings Wiki, Dr Gregor Harvie, said: \u2018Sustainability is all about working together for the common good. BREEAM Wiki is a fantastic opportunity for practitioners to share what they know and help others create a more sustainable environment. There\u2019s already lots of great information on BREEAM Wiki, and it will get even better as more people engage with it.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Contribute to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designingbuildings.co.uk\/BREEAM_Wik\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BREEAM Wiki<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designingbuildings.co.uk\/wiki\/BREEAM_Wiki_launched\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announcement<\/a> on DBW<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BREEAM Wiki has become part of the widely-used Designing Buildings Wiki (DBW), with the object of \u2018advancing knowledge sharing and collaborative solutions for the BRE family of sustainability tools.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19001","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sector-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19001","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19001"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19001\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19003,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19001\/revisions\/19003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19001"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19001"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19001"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
