BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method)

BREEAM, or the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method, is an environmental assessment tool used to evaluate the sustainability of buildings. It measures a building's performance in areas such as energy use, water consumption, indoor environmental quality, and materials used. BREEAM encourages practices that reduce environmental impact and promotes sustainable design and construction. Buildings are rated on a scale from Pass to Outstanding, helping developers, homeowners, and tenants make informed decisions about eco-friendly properties. Overall, BREEAM aims to support a healthier and more sustainable built environment.
