What is the BREEAM assessment process?

The BREEAM assessment process is a method used to evaluate the environmental performance of buildings, infrastructure, and communities. It involves an assessment of a building or development's sustainability against a series of criteria, covering areas such as energy and water consumption, pollution, and ecology. The process is carried out by a qualified BREEAM assessor, who will assess the performance of the building or development against a set of standardized criteria to determine its level of sustainability. The process includes a series of initial planning, design, and construction assessments, followed by regular post-occupancy assessments to ensure ongoing performance improvements. The final score will determine the level of certification the building or development can achieve, ranging from 'Pass' to 'Outstanding.'
