What is BREEAM?

Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) is the foremost method of assessing the environmental performance of new and existing buildings both in the UK and worldwide.

It sets the standard for best practice in sustainable development and covers virtually all aspects of the design.

Why commission a BREEAM Assessment?

Achieving a BREEAM rating is increasingly becoming a requirement of Funding Bodies and Planning Authorities. It also demonstrates a commitment to socially responsible development and creating sustainable and healthy environments in which current and future generations are to live and work.

BREEAM can offer the following benefits:

- Market recognition for low environmental impact buildings

- Improved working environment for employees

- Enhanced corporate image for developers and tenants

- Beneficial investment returns for developers

- Reduced building running costs

- Assurance that best environmental practice is incorporated into a building

- Incentive to find innovative solutions that minimise environmental impact

- A benchmark that is higher than regulation

- A standard that demonstrates progress towards corporate and organisational environmental objectives

- The use of BREEAM demonstrates Corporate Social Responsibility
