What is BREEAM?

BREAAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is a rating system developed by the Building Research Establishment (BRE) in 1990. It is used to specify and measure the sustainability performance of buildings, ensuring that projects meet sustainability goals and continue to perform optimally over an extended period.

Measures of performance

A BREAAM assessment uses recognised measures of performance, which are set against established benchmarks, to evaluate a building’s environmental impact across 10 categories including, energy, water, waste, pollution, transport, and ecology. The categories are weighted based on their environmental impact, meaning measures in one sub-category can count for more than that of another, however, a building must achieve a minimum score in each category to achieve certification.

What are the benefits of BREEAM?

Compliance with local and national sustainability regulations (up to 70% of local authorities require BREAAM certification)
Demonstrates a commitment to sustainability
Improved occupant health and wellbeing.
BREAAM certification can improve the overall value of a building due to its increased marketability because of improved sustainability and energy reduction
Reduced operating costs through improved energy and water efficiency
