”
Developed by BRE Global, a subsidiary of the BRE Group, in 1990, BREEAM® has reached a strong market recognition and is recognised by construction and property industry as the benchmark for best practice in environmental building design and management. 7
BREEAM® is a highly flexible rating system that is used to assess any building type, from new developments to refurbishments, from fit-out projects to building operations and maintenance.[5] In order to encourage even greater international acceptance, a BREEAM® International scheme and country-specific BREEAM® schemes were developed along the UK BREEAM® rating systems. BREEAM® assessment uses recognised sustainability metrics and indices to evaluate the building performance across a range of environmental issues, including energy and water use, health and wellbeing, pollution, transport, materials, waste, ecology and management processes. Building are rated and certified on a scale of 'Pass', 'Good', 'Very Good', 'Excellent' and 'Outstanding', with the latter representing the highest level of sustainability in building. Assessments are carried out by independent, licenced, assessors.
