BREEAM

BREEAM stands for Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method. It's a way of checking how green a building is, meaning it helps make sure buildings are healthy for the environment. It looks at things like how much energy and water a building uses, how its materials are sourced, and how it is designed. It also looks at how buildings help reduce pollution and conserve natural resources. The idea is to make buildings sustainably friendly so that they can be used for longer periods of time with fewer impacts to the environment.
