BREEAM is the world-leading sustainability assessment method for the built environment and infrastructure. Project owners around the world rely on BREEAM to achieve their sustainability goals and improve the performance of their assets.

An introduction to how BREEAM works. BREEAM is used to specify and measure the sustainability performance of buildings, ensuring that projects meet sustainability goals and continue to perform optimally over time.

The Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM), first published by the Building Research Establishment in 1990, [1] is touted as the world's longest established method of identifying the sustainability of buildings. Around 550,000 buildings have been "BREEAM-certified".

The BREEAM suite of schemes enables consistent and comparable assessment and verification across the entire built environment life cycle. It comprises six technical standards which apply to the different stages of a building or project’s life cycle.

BREEAM is BRE’s third-party certification for the built environment. Since its launch in 1990, BREEAM has helped improve asset performance at every stage, from design through construction, through use and refurbishment.

In other words, BREEAM is the world’s leading sustainability assessment method for master-planning projects, infrastructure and buildings. It recognizes and reflects the value in higher performing assets across the built environment lifecycle, from new construction to in-use to renovation and refurbishment.

BREEAM is the world’s foremost environmental assessment method and rating system for buildings, with 200,000 buildings with certified BREEAM assessment ratings and over a million registered for assessment since it was first launched in 1990.
