Sustainability for projects - BREEAM Assessment

BREEAM Assessment

BREEAM Assessments (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology) are required on projects with a construction value of £3million or above.

BREEAM is an internationally recognised sustainability assessment method for masterplanning building projects, infrastructure and refurbishment. It’s a local authority requirement for building planning. It provides a comprehensive framework to evaluate the environmental, social, and economic sustainability of buildings. BREEAM sets sustainable benchmarks from Outstanding, Excellent, Very Good, Good and Pass.

For Imperial, using BREEAM offers several key benefits to its sustainability and Net Zero Carbon plan:

  1. Sustainability: BREEAM promotes environmental responsibility by encouraging energy efficiency, sustainable materials, and waste reduction, aligning with the university's sustainability goals.
  2. Enhanced Learning Environment: BREEAM standards improve indoor air quality, natural lighting, and thermal comfort, creating a healthier and more productive environment for students and staff.
  3. Marketability: A BREEAM-certified building enhances Imperial’s world class reputation, attracting students, faculty, and investors who prioritise sustainability.
  4. Cost Efficiency: Long-term operational cost savings are achieved through reduced energy and water use, as well as lower maintenance costs.
  5. Compliance and Futureproofing: BREEAM ensures compliance with current regulations and prepares the building for future sustainability requirements.
  6. Corporate Social Responsibility: Achieving BREEAM certification supports the university’s CSR goals and strengthens its commitment to environmental stewardship.

Overall, BREEAM ensures Imperial’s buildings are sustainable, cost-effective, and aligned with modern educational and environmental standards.
