What Are The Benefits of BREEAM?
BREEAM aims to show that by building with the local area in mind, though capital costs may increase, you should save on operational costs in the long-term. This limits investor costs and makes the building more attractive when it comes to selling.
It's the hope that the BREEAM assessment will help building owners and designers improve their carbon footprint across Newcastle upon Tyne and make better use of their resources. A BREEAM certification is a way of validating how good a building is in terms of the environmental impact through a globally recognised standard.

How Is BREEAM Assessed?
BREEAM's aim is to educate building designers, owners and occupiers throughout Newcastle upon Tyne about the impact their building has on the local area.

What Does BREEAM Stand For?
First published by the Building Reseearch Establishment (BRE) in 1990 covering buildings across Newcastle upon Tyne, BREEAM stands for Building Research Establishment's Enviromental Assement Method.
