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

What Is A BREEAM Rating?

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

How To Achieve BREEAM Excellence

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

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

How Is BREEAM Assessed?

BREEAM's aim is to educate building designers, owners and occupiers throughout Penzance 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.

What Are The Benefits of BREEAM?

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.

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

What Does BREEAM Stand For?

BREEAM stands for Building Research Establishment's Enviromental Assement Method and was first published in 1990 by the Building Research Establishment (BRE) that covers Penzance.
