BREEAM is the World’s leading environmental rating and sustainability assessment tool for buildings, master planning and infrastructure. A BREEAM assessment focuses on sustainable value and efficiency throughout a number of lifecycle stages, including new construction, refurbishment and in-use.

BREEAM assessment has become the preferred environmental assessment method to be included in the Local Development Frameworks of Local Authorities throughout the UK.  A BREEAM assessment is now an essential part of the environmental Core Planning Policies for the development of non-domestic new construction and major refurbishment for the majority of Local Authorities nationwide.

BREEAM is used to assess the environmental performance of any type of building (new and existing). Most types of buildings can be assessed under the new version BREEAM 2018.
