What is BREEAM?

BREEAM, or the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology, is a framework which helps measure the environmental impact of an asset in the built environment. A BREEAM assessment focuses on sustainable value and efficiency throughout a number of lifecycle stages, including new construction, refurbishment and in-use.

How does a BREEAM assessment work?

It focuses on sustainable value across range of categories:

  • Energy: operational energy and carbon dioxide (CO2)
  • Management: management policy, commissioning, site management and procurement
  • Health and Wellbeing: indoor and external issues (noise, light, air, quality etc)
  • Transport: transport-related CO2 and location related factors
  • Water consumption and efficiency
  • Materials: embodied impacts of building materials, including lifecycle impacts like embodied carbon dioxide
  • Waste: construction resource efficiency and waste management
  • Pollution: external air and water pollution
  • Land Use: type of site and building footprint
  • Ecology: ecological value, conservation and enhancement of the site
  • Innovation: use of innovative or high-performing features in any category that goes
    beyond the standard requirement levels

How is a BREEAM assessment scored?

Based upon the aforementioned criteria, our certified BREEAM assessors will award credits or points of a building on various assessment categories, which is then multiplied by an environmental weighting factor.

Upon completion of their assessments, projects will have a BREEAM percentage score that indicates how their sustainability credentials compare to BREEAM’s five rating benchmarks:

  • Outstanding (85% Or More)
  • Excellent (70% Or More)
  • Very Good (55% Or More)
  • Good (45% Or More)
  • Pass (30% Or More)
