BREEAM Communities (BREEAM-C, v. 2012)

BREEAM (BRE Environmental Assessment Method) is the leading and most widely used environmental assessment method for buildings and communities. BREEAM-C is an assessment method that provides a way to improve, measure and certify the social, environmental and economic sustainability of large scale development plans by integrating sustainable design into the masterplanning process. To recognise the different contexts and challenges faced when developing in different countries, BREEAM-C includes a simple bespoke process through which it can be applied internationally. The bespoke process enables projects to tailor the technical manual to their unique local situation. Credit categories (6): Governance, Social and economic wellbeing, Resources and energy, Resources and energy, Transport and movement, Innovation Criteria open for benchmarking. A certification process is charged according to a price-list and requires a registered assessor.
