BREEAM
Overview
The Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) is a tool that allows the owners, users and designers of buildings to review and improve environmental performance throughout the life of a building. It is a widely accepted and respected scheme that sets a benchmark for environmental performance and provides measurable benefits. It is independent, authoritative and is based on many years of construction and environmental research carried out at BRE, together with the input and experience of the construction and property industries, government and building regulators.
NHBC's experienced team of consultants can provide a service tailored to your requirements, from design team meetings through to formal assessment and certification. We can provide assessments for both BREEAM for offices and bespoke BREEAM/EcoHomes.
BREEAM is a practical tool that can bring real benefits:
- Reduced energy and other running costs.
- Improved staff productivity.
- Making office buildings more attractive to potential customers.
- Demonstrates improved environmental performance.
- Creates an improved environment for people to work more productively.
- Provides a checklist for benchmarking building performance.
