BREEAM

Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method.

BREEAM is the world's foremost environmental assessment method and rating system for buildings. It sets the standard for best practice in sustainable building design, construction and operation. A BREEAM assessment uses recognized measures of performance, which are set against established benchmarks, to evaluate a building’s specification, design, construction and use.

Evaluation Criteria:

BREEAM bases its evaluation on a building's performance in the following eight key areas: energy and water use, the internal environment (health and well-being), pollution, transport, materials, waste, ecology and management processes.
