BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method)

BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is a globally recognized sustainability certification developed by the UK’s Building Research Establishment (BRE) in 1990. It assesses buildings and infrastructure on environmental, social, and economic performance across categories such as energy, water, materials, waste, health, and ecology. Projects earn ratings from “Pass” to “Outstanding,” encouraging efficient resource use, reduced carbon impact, and improved occupant well-being throughout a building’s design, construction, and operational stages.
