BREEM looks like an environmental rating

BREEAM: BRE Environmental Assessment Method

 

[Barrel of Fun]

BREEAM is an environmental assessment of a building/structure/stadium to assess the sustainability levels. The assessor will look at anything from light sources, carbon emissions to waste and so on. They are then scored and a collective tally gives you a final rating i.e. PASS, GOOD, VERY GOOD, EXCELLENT or OUTSTANDING rating.

BREEAM (BRE Environmental Assessment Method) is the leading and most widely used environmental assessment method for buildings. It sets the standard for best practice in sustainable design.

The rest is just a list of what they are going to be involved in for the stadium and site as a whole.

The other underlined bit in the first post - feature roof trusses - are the white bits above the roof on the east and west sands, clearly visible in the picture.
