BREEAM categories
Page updated on: 01/10/2024
A summary of the issues covered by each of the ten categories is summarised below. Each issue seeks to mitigate the impact of a new or refurbished building on the environment by defining a performance target and assessment criteria that must be met to confirm the target has been achieved.
