What does BREEAM certification and consulting include?
BREEAM is an international system for assessing the sustainability of buildings. It covers topics such as energy efficiency, comfort, health and wellbeing, resource management, transport, materials, waste, water, ecology and environmental impact. Certification helps buildings be planned, designed, constructed and operated in a more sustainable and efficient way.
IPA - Architecture and more is an official BREEAM assessor and supports clients through management and consulting during the entire certification process: from the early concept and investment intention to architectural design, construction, commissioning and building operation.
The process includes analysis of certification goals, definition of the applicable BREEAM criteria, coordination between the investor, designers, consultants and contractors, tracking of the required documentation and support in decision-making related to sustainability and future building operation.
BREEAM certification can help reduce future operating costs, improve resource management, limit negative environmental impact and increase comfort for building users. It creates a clear framework for achieving internationally recognized sustainability and quality criteria.
The service is directly connected with architectural design, energy modeling, environmental procedures, engineering design, design process management and LEED certification. When sustainability requirements are addressed at an early stage, the project has a better chance to achieve realistic, measurable and economically justified results.
