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

What Are The Benefits of BREEAM?

A BREEAM certification is a way of validating how good a building in Helensburgh 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 Does BREEAM Stand For?

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