BEAM Society Limited (BSL) provides a valuable resource in this regard with its BEAM Plus certification program.

Special attention will be given to the newly updated BEAM Plus Interior version 2.0, alongside the BEAM Plus for Existing Buildings version 2.0. Participants will gain insights into these advanced standards, which are instrumental in fostering sustainable building practices.
