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

How To Achieve BREEAM Excellence

To achieve an Excellent score in West Houghton you'll need to score 70% or above where an Outstanding rating is for 85% and up. To just pass the assessment the building will need to score 30% or above with anything lower marked as Unclassified.

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.

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

How Is BREEAM Assessed?

BREEAM's aim is to educate building designers, owners and occupiers throughout West Houghton 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 Does BREEAM Stand For?

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