BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method)

BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is the world's leading design and assessment method for sustainable buildings.

BREEAM Assessments are used to demonstrate the environmental performance and sustainability of commercial buildings.

A BREEAM will be required for all major public buildings or where Government funding is involved, when it is a planning requirement or when the client wishes to assess the environmental quality of their project.

BREEAM 2011 is a streamlined consolidation of the nine previous types of BREEAM assessment.

Building performance is assessed under various headings including:

• Energy
• Land Use & Ecology
• Health & Wellbeing
• Materials
• Waste
• Pollution
• Transport
• Water
• Management

On completion of the assessment BREEAM certificates are issued by the BRE with a rating ( Pass, Good, Very Good, Excellent or Outstanding.)

At jhai we guarantee expert, friendly advice and a commitment to helping you achieve the best possible rating in the easiest ways.

To discuss your BREEAM requirements call 01308 488656 or e-mail dave.hoskin@jhai.co.uk

CODE for SUSTAINABLE HOMES

Assessments are used to demonstrate the environmental performance and sustainability of domestic new-build projects.

A CSH rating will be required when Government funding is involved, when the client wishes to assess the environmental quality of their project or when it is a planning requirement.

Many Planning Authorities and Housing Associations in England and Wales require certification to Level 3 or Level 4.

Projects are assessed at two stages: Design Stage and Post Construction.

In addition jhai offer pre-assessment advice to help you understand and factor in all the features – mandatory and optional- needed to achieve your target level.

Areas assessed include:

• Energy and CO2 emissions (M),
• Water (M),
• Materials (M),
• Surface Water Run-off (M),
• Waste (M),
• Pollution,
• Health and Wellbeing (M),
• Management,
• Ecology

On completion of the assessment CSH certificates are issued with a Level rating (0-6.)

At jhai we guarantee expert, friendly advice and a commitment to helping you achieve your target rating in the easiest ways.
