BREEAM Green Building Rating System

Attain BREEAM certification with TÜV SÜD

BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is a voluntary Green Building Rating system established in UK for assessing the environmental performance of buildings. BREEAM assesses the performances of buildings over a wide range of environmental issues to produce a rating (PASS, GOOD, VERY GOOD, EXCELLENT or OUTSTANDING).

A BREEAM assessment uses recognised measures of performance, which are set against established benchmarks, to evaluate a building’s specification, design, construction and use. The measures represent a wide range of categories and criteria from energy to ecology, including aspects related to energy and water use, the internal environment (health and well-being), pollution, transport, materials, waste, ecology and management processes. TÜV SÜD partner accredited assessors and advised on the most efficient green measures needed to achieve the BREEAM certification.
