Breeam

The breeam environmental assessment method ( BREEAM ) is an environmental assessment method for the whole building. It cannot be used to assess individual building elements such as roofs or materials like RoofKrete/Krete or Single Ply PVC or Single Ply TPO.

The breeam family of assessments includes specific assessments for offices, ecohomes, courts, industrial buildings, prisons, retail units/ shops, schools, multi-residential, international and bespoke constructions.

Breeam also includes the "code for sustainable homes", which is now a mandatory assessment for all new housing in england and wales, while ecohomes is still valid for scotland and northern ireland.

Breeam assesses the overall performance of buildings using factors like - management, health and well being, energy, transport , water, materials , land use , and pollution---and awards credits in each area according to performance. The credits can be added together to produce a single overall score of excellent , very good, good or pass.

Due to the wide nature of the assessment ,every individual building must be subject to an individual assessment by a BRE Licensed Assessor.
