What is BREEAM? “BREEAM (BRE Environmental Assessment Method) is the leading and most widely used environmental assessment method for buildings. It sets the standard for best practice in sustainable design and has become the de facto measure used to describe a building's environmental performance”

BREEAM cont’d There are BREEAM schemes for a multitude of buildings including homes, courts, prisons, healthcare, industrial, offices, retail and since 2008 Education Presently BREEAM Education does not cover HE, but only Schools and Colleges Universities will require to be assessed under what is known as Bespoke
