BREEAM
Supporting your design team to achieve the best possible BREEAM rating
Our team of skilled consultants can actively assist your design team, providing advice on how to maximise potential credits to achieve your desired BREEAM rating. Our expertise covers the UK and International versions of the system and, having developed and proven our capabilities and methodologies over many years on a wide range of innovative, high-profile projects worldwide, we are ideally placed to support any scale of project.
Our BREEAM APs are well versed with the BREEAM assessment methodology and can integrate within the existing design team smoothly and efficiently. This includes being able to provide standalone BREEAM Accredited Professional services for clients who already have a BREEAM Assessor appointed.
Using the IES Virtual Environment software suite, we can test various design scenarios to undertake:
- BREEAM Accredited Professional services
- Daylighting Modelling & Analysis
- Thermal Comfort Modelling & Analysis
- Energy Modelling & Analysis (Ene 01)
- Material & Product Selection
We are able to assess the following credits across numerous BREEAM Schemes:
