BREEAM (BRE Environmental Assessment Method) is the leading and most widely used environmental assessment method for modern 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.
Extraspace’s design team achieved a design stage Excellent Rating (over 70%) for the new building.
BREEAM provides clients, developers, designers and others with:
- Market recognition for low environmental impact buildings
- Assurance that best environmental practice is incorporated into the building
- Inspiration to find innovative solutions that minimise environmental impact
- A benchmark that is higher than regulation
- A tool to help reduce running costs, improve working and living environments
- A standard that demonstrates progress towards corporate and organisational environmental objectives
