What is BREEAM?
Started in the United Kingdom, BREEAM (BRE Environmental Assessment Method) is a method for assessing the environmental performance of any type of building, new and existing. Standard versions exist for common building types and tailored criteria can be used to assess less common building types under the Bespoke BREEAM version. BREEAM addresses wide-ranging environmental and sustainability issues and enables developers and designers to prove the environmental credentials of their buildings to planners and clients, using a straightforward scoring system.
