BREEAM certification: how does it work?
BREEAM (British Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is a highly popular certification system that globally recognises sustainable building projects. How does it work? And how can Reynaers Aluminium products make your project BREEAM-certified? Find out in this article.
The BREEAM certificate is a reliable quality and sustainability label. It is awarded to projects that pay attention to sustainable building design and that reduce the environmental impact of their products as much as possible. BREEAM evaluates your building on several sustainable categories and awards credits, weighted for each category. The result is a final building score that ranges from “BREEAM Pass” to “BREEAM Outstanding.”
