BREEAM In-Use is an international assessment methodology for independent third-party certification of an existing building’s performance. It is voluntary for all  buildings whether BREEAM certified or not.

BREEAM In-Use allows developers, owners, occupiers and managers to assess the environmental performance of their building and improve the sustainability via efficiencies in operations, management and initiatives.

Our BREEAM Assessors are an integral part of our in-house Energy and Sustainability Team and provide project design input on environmental issues.

BREEAM ratings are increasingly being specified by Local Authorities as a planning requirement with a number of Authorities stipulating an Outstanding rating must be achieved.

We can provide early advise to Clients and Project Teams on how the required BREEAM rating can be achieved and can put plans in place to realise this.

Clients should be aware that there are additional costs if BREEAM Excellent or Outstanding are to be targeted.
