Security Assurance by the Building Research Establishment (SABRE)
}} SABRE (Security Assurance by the Building Research Establishment) was launched in 2017 by the Building Research Establishment (BRE). Organisations such as RIBA have already acknowledged SABRE as a recognised security approach.
SABRE is a security assurance approach focussed on providing a comprehensive record and rating of a building’s resistance to threats.
It uses similar principles as the well-established sustainability rating system known as BREEAM, also developed by BRE.
Purpose
SABRE has been developed as a trusted third party security assessment and certification process that offers those that design, build and occupy buildings a reliable grading system that captures just how well the buildings will resist threats and also offer a credible way to carry out cost-benefit analyses on security.
Examples of SABRE
SABRE has already been adopted in significant projects, such as the St Regis Hotel in Astana Kazakhstan.
