BREEAM is sometimes referred to as BREEAM Reports, BREEAM Rating, BREEAM Assessments, BREEAM Assessors, BREEAM Assessment Ratings.
How Is BREEAM Assessed?
Covering a range of environmental issues in Swansea, BREEAM looks at a building's impact on transport, waste, energy, health, water, pollution, materials, management and ecology to assess whether a building is Outstanding, Excellent, Very Good, Good or a Pass. Covering more than 50 countries and 250,000 buildings, BREEAM's aim is to educate building owners, designers and occupants about their impact on the local area.
What Is A BREEAM Rating?
The maximum score a building can achieve in Swansea is 100% from a BREEAM assessment. It used to be that 'Good' was the maximum level that could be achieved, however in 2008 a new 'Outstanding' category was added. The percentage required for each level remained the same despite this.
The BREEAM ratings for new, non-domestic buildings in Swansea are as follows: Pass (standard good practice) for the top 75%, Good (intermediate good practice) for the top 50%. Very Good (advanced good practice) for top 25%. Excellent (best practice) for top 10% and Outstanding innovator) for the top 1%.
How To Achieve BREEAM Excellence

- Outstanding: 85%+
- Excellent: 70%+
- Very Good: 55%+

What Are The Benefits of BREEAM?
A BREEAM certification is a way of validating how good a building in Swansea is in terms of the environmental impact through a globally recognised standard. It's the hope that the BREEAM assessment will help building owners and designers to improve their carbon footprint and make better use of their resources.
It's not unheard of that making a building more environmentally friendly will increase the cost of construction - but BREEAM aims to show that by building this way you will save on operational costs in the future that in turn limit investor costs and makes the property more attractive when reselling.
What Does BREEAM Stand For?
First published by the Building Reseearch Establishment (BRE) in 1990 covering buildings across Swansea, BREEAM stands for Building Research Establishment's Enviromental Assement Method.
