What Does BREEAM Stand For?

BREEAM stands for Building Research Establishment's Enviromental Assement Method and was first published in 1990 by the Building Research Establishment (BRE) that covers Berkshire.

What Is A BREEAM Rating?

The BREEAM ratings for new, non-domestic buildings in Berkshire are as follows: Pass (standard good practice) for the top 75%, Good (intermediate good practice) for the top 50%. Very Good (advanced good practice) for top 25%. Excellent (best practice) for top 10% and Outstanding innovator) for the top 1%.

The maximum score a building can achieve in Berkshire is 100% from a BREEAM assessment. It used to be that 'Good' was the maximum level that could be achieved, however in 2008 a new 'Outstanding' category was added. The percentage required for each level remained the same despite this.

How Is BREEAM Assessed?

Covering a range of environmental issues in Berkshire, BREEAM looks at a building's impact on transport, waste, energy, health, water, pollution, materials, management and ecology to assess whether a building is Outstanding, Excellent, Very Good, Good or a Pass. Covering more than 50 countries and 250,000 buildings, BREEAM's aim is to educate building owners, designers and occupants about their impact on the local area.

What Are The Benefits of BREEAM?

A BREEAM certification is a way of validating how good a building in Berkshire is in terms of the environmental impact through a globally recognised standard. It's the hope that the BREEAM assessment will help building owners and designers to improve their carbon footprint and make better use of their resources.

BREEAM aims to show that by building with the local area in mind, though capital costs may increase, you should save on operational costs in the long-term. This limits investor costs and makes the building more attractive when it comes to selling.

How To Achieve BREEAM Excellence

The scoring for a BREEAM assessment in Berkshire is as follows:

• Outstanding: 85%+
• Excellent: 70%+
• Very Good: 55%+
• Good: 45%+
• Pass: 30%+
