How BREEAM is the key to more sustainable future
BRE has been raising the standards of the built environment since 1921. Our heritage of scientific rigour is nowhere clearer than in BREEAM, which has been a global driver of sustainability in the built environment for over 30 years.
BREEAM began the building certification system as the first scheme of its kind over 30 years ago. In 1990 BREEAM for Offices was launched by the BRE as an environmental assessment for new build office developments in the UK.
BREEAM has since evolved into an internationally recognised standard of sustainability, quality and value that can be applied across the entire building lifecycle, to all assets, anywhere in the world.
With over two million assets registered worldwide, BREEAM has helped thousands of businesses to assess and improve the environmental, social and economic sustainability of their assets at every lifecycle stage.
For over a century, BRE has been a custodian of the built environment and I’m hugely proud of what we’ve achieved.
The next 100 years will define our future on this planet, and we at BRE will continue to develop world-leading, science-led solutions
Pioneered by our experts in 1990, I am proud to say that BREEAM is once again evolving through a major digital upgrade, which will embrace new methods of measurement and place data first and foremost, to provide revolutionary insight into the environmental impact of our buildings and drive better decision making.
For over a century, BRE has been a custodian of the built environment and I’m hugely proud of what we’ve achieved. The next 100 years will define our future on this planet, and we at BRE will continue to develop world-leading, science-led solutions, such as BREEAM, to address the most important issue of our time.
