The Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) is a system developed in the UK for assessing the environmental sustainability of buildings. It evaluates buildings based on a set of categories including energy use, water consumption, materials, pollution, land use, ecology, and health and well-being. BREEAM is designed to encourage building owners and developers to adopt sustainable practices and reduce the environmental impact of their buildings. It is widely used in the construction industry, both in the UK and internationally. BREEAM certificates are awarded to buildings that meet certain environmental sustainability standards.
