BREEAM® Certificate

BREEAM® Certification: What It Is, How It Works, and Why It’s Spain’s Top Sustainability Standard

BREEAM® (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology) is the most internationally recognized sustainable building certification. It is an evaluation system that measures the environmental sustainability of buildings by assessing their environmental impact from the design and construction phases through to their use and maintenance.

The system is based on analyzing, rating, and implementing environmental and health benefits that ensure quality and recognize good construction practices. BREEAM® is the leading certification in Spain thanks to its adaptability to current regulations and the use of advanced techniques. Globally, over 200,000 certifications have been awarded, and more than 1,000,000 buildings are registered under this system

Which buildings can apply for the BREEAM® certification?

• new constructions
• existing buildings at least two years old
• buildings with non-residential use

Benefits of having a BREEAM® certification:

• economic savings: reduces energy consumption and maintenance costs
• added value: increases the market value of the property
• well-being: ensures healthier and more comfortable environments for occupants
• responsibility: demonstrates a real commitment to sustainability and environmental respect

For existing or new non-residential buildings, BREEAM® provides the necessary information to assess their actual sustainability, making it easier to create an informative map that ensures continuous improvements and energy efficiency.
