Frequently asked questions about BREEAM

Want to know more about the benefits of BREEAM certification?
BREEAM stands for Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method. Founded by the Building Research Establishment (BRE) in 1990, it has grown into a globally recognised standard and is now used in over 70 countries to assess the sustainability of buildings and infrastructure.
A BREEAM Pre-Assessment is an initial evaluation conducted early in the project planning phase. It helps identify potential sustainability credits and opportunities for improvement, ensuring your project is well-positioned to achieve the best possible BREEAM rating.
Achieving high ratings like ‘Excellent’ or ‘Outstanding’ requires careful planning and early integration of sustainability measures across all nine BREEAM categories. Engaging with a BREEAM Assessor early on in the process and conducting BREEAM pre-assessments will help you achieve your desired rating.
BREEAM certification is not mandatory for all developments. However, many local planning authorities, stakeholders, and clients may require BREEAM certification to demonstrate a building’s commitment to sustainability – particularly for larger commercial and public sector projects.
No, BREEAM is not limited to the UK. While it was originally developed in the UK, BREEAM is now an internationally recognised standard used in over 70 countries worldwide to assess the sustainability of buildings and infrastructure.
