BREEAM Consultancy

BRE Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) which is an eco-friendly building certification system, was first introduced in the UK in 1990, but then began to be adopted in many countries. BREEAM certification like LEED certification, intends to measure a building’s environmental performance by applying certain standards. BREEAM ‘s core target is to award the buildings that are implementing environmentally friendly technologies.

Currently there are three different versions of BREEAM can be applied internationally:

  • BREEAM International
  • BREEAM In-Use International
  • BREEAM International Bespoke

Although BREEAM certification is similar in principle with LEED Certification, BREEAM certification can only be taken for the design of the building and can only be prepared project-specific (Bespoke). In addition, levels of certification is listed as Pass, Good, Very Good, Excellent and Outstanding.

There are more than 200,000 buildings (residential, business, shopping center, etc.) world-wide awarded with BREEAM certification. This makes BREEAM world’s most recognized green building certification scheme.
