What is BREEAM?
Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method, the world's leading sustainability assessment for buildings. BREEAM ratings help property developers demonstrate environmental performance.
Why it matters
BREEAM certification is increasingly expected by institutional investors, local planning authorities, and major occupiers. A higher BREEAM rating can improve rental premiums, reduce void periods, and support planning consent for new developments.
Example
A warehouse developer targets BREEAM Excellent for a new 20,000 sqm logistics hub. The carbon and energy credits within the assessment require a comprehensive carbon report covering both embodied and operational emissions.
