WHAT IS BREEAM?

BREEAM is the world’s leading sustainability assessment method for masterplanning projects, infrastructure and buildings. It addresses a number of lifecycle stages such as New Construction, Refurbishment and In-Use.

Globally there are more than 543,500 BREEAM certified developments, and almost 2,243,000 buildings registered for assessment since it was first launched in 1990.

BREEAM inspires developers and creators to excel, innovate and make effective use of resources. The focus on sustainable value and efficiency makes BREEAM certified developments attractive property investments and generates sustainable environments that enhance the well-being of the people who live and work in them.

The core technical standards and processes of BREEAM promote best practice for all aspects of sustainable property development and its comprehensive, scientific approach has long been recognised. BREEAM is owned by BRE Global Ltd (part of the BRE Group), the international provider of robust, independent, third party certification of fire, security and environmental products and services.
