About BREEAM certification
BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is a leading sustainability assessment method from the UK, used internationally to evaluate a building’s environmental performance.
It considers a broad range of categories – including energy, water, transport, materials, waste, pollution, land use, health & well-being, and management – to produce an overall sustainability score.
For occupiers, a BREEAM-certified building signals a holistically green and well-managed property. It demonstrates that the developer has incorporated sustainable practices (such as energy-efficient systems, low-impact materials, good indoor environmental quality, and occupant health features) from design through operation. Many European tenants seek BREEAM ratings as a mark of environmental quality and corporate responsibility.
How Smart Spaces can help you
BREEAM awards points for energy management, water monitoring, indoor air quality, lighting controls, and other intelligent building systems. A platform like Smart Spaces ties these elements together by automating and monitoring sustainable practices.
Our software can ensure lights and equipment turn off automatically when areas are unoccupied and optimise heating/cooling based on occupancy patterns, directly reducing energy consumption. These actions contribute to BREEAM Energy credits and also support Health & Well-being credits by maintaining comfortable conditions efficiently.
Smart Spaces also aids in the Management category of BREEAM: it provides data logging and analytics that facility managers can use for sustainability reporting and continuous improvement. By demonstrating a clear commitment to reducing energy consumption, carbon footprint, and other environmental objectives through smart controls, a building with Smart Spaces is well-positioned to score higher in BREEAM.
BREEAM ratings are expressed in levels based on the percentage score a project achieves:
These levels provide a graded scale – for instance, Very Good indicates the building performs well above regulatory minima, while Outstanding is difficult to achieve and reflects innovation and top 10% performance in sustainability.
To occupiers, higher BREEAM ratings imply lower operating costs (through efficiency), a healthier indoor environment, and a forward-thinking approach to environmental impact.
In fact, green certifications like BREEAM or LEED often correlate with improved occupant satisfaction and comfort, as they address not only resource use but also factors like light, noise, and air quality.
