BREEAM sets the standard worldwide for best practices in sustainable building construction and is one of the most widely used measures of a building's environmental performance.
The in-use environmental performance of buildings is calculated based on two key areas: asset performance (asset's intrinsic quality) and building management (asset's management). The final rating is broken down into seven categories, as presented here.
