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

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 Pocklington 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.

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 Pocklington.
