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

How Is BREEAM Assessed?

BREEAM's aim is to educate building designers, owners and occupiers throughout Glasgow about the impact their building has on the local area. To do this, BREEAM gives a rating of Outstanding, Excellent, Very Good, Good or a Pass based on transport, waste, energy, health, water, pollution, materials, management and ecology.

How To Achieve BREEAM Excellence

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

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

What Does BREEAM Stand For?

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

What Is A BREEAM Rating?

The BREEAM ratings for a new, non-domestic building in Glasgow 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 Glasgow from a BREEAM assessment. However, in 2008, a new 'Outstanding' category was added - although the percentages required for each level remained the same.

What Are The Benefits of BREEAM?

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