BREEAM, which stands for Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method, is a widely recognized sustainability assessment method for master planning projects, infrastructure, and buildings. It evaluates the environmental performance of a building and encourages developers to design and construct more sustainable properties. BREEAM ratings range from Pass to Outstanding, reflecting the level of sustainability achieved.
The assessment covers various categories, including energy use, water consumption, indoor environmental quality, and materials used. By promoting best practices in sustainable design, BREEAM helps reduce the environmental impact of buildings and supports the transition to a more sustainable built environment.
