BREEAM is sometimes referred to as BREEAM Assessors, BREEAM Assessment Ratings, BREEAM Reports, BREEAM Rating, BREEAM Assessments.

What Are The Benefits of BREEAM?

A BREEAM certification is a way of validating how good a building in Bishop Auckland 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.

It's not unheard of that making a building more environmentally friendly will increase the cost of construction - but BREEAM aims to show that by building this way you will save on operational costs in the future that in turn limit investor costs and makes the property more attractive when reselling.

What Is A BREEAM Rating?

The BREEAM ratings for a new, non-domestic building in Bishop Auckland are:

• Pass: standard good practice (top 75%)
• Good: intermediate good practice (top 50%)
• Very Good: advanced good practice (top 25%)
• Excellent: best practice (top 10%)
• Outstanding: innovator (top 1%)

It used to be that 'Good' was the maximum level that could be achieved with 100% being the maximum score in Bishop Auckland from a BREEAM assessment. However, in 2008, a new 'Outstanding' category was added - although the percentages required for each level remained the same.

How Is BREEAM Assessed?

Covering a range of environmental issues in Bishop Auckland, 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.

How To Achieve BREEAM Excellence

To achieve an Excellent score in Bishop Auckland you'll need to score 70% or above where an Outstanding rating is for 85% and up. To just pass the assessment the building will need to score 30% or above with anything lower marked as Unclassified.

What Does BREEAM Stand For?

First published by the Building Reseearch Establishment (BRE) in 1990 covering buildings across Bishop Auckland, BREEAM stands for Building Research Establishment's Enviromental Assement Method.
