Why BREEAM USA?

BREEAM provides building owners, facility managers and building occupants a consistent and credible means of determining the impact and performance of their buildings, as well as areas for improvement. BREEAM USA is:

  • Tailored to the US market but maintains international comparability
  • Independently verified by licensed Assessors
  • Applicable to all commercial building types, allowing comparability and standardization across a portfolio of properties
  • Available for buildings of all ages, sizes and performance levels, not just those considered “green”
  • Assessment and benchmarking are easily accessed and facilitated through the BREEAM In-Use Online Tool
  • Allows for benchmarking and/or certifying against one or more areas: the building’s built form, operational performance and the occupant’s activities and use of their space.
  • A holistic approach to sustainability evaluation, collectively assessing performance across a wide range of environmental categories
  • Focused on year-over-year improvements
  • Flexible and adaptive to client requirements, providing a score and rating that allows the client to pursue those issues which provide them most value
