Each category focuses on the most influential factors, including reduced carbon emissions, low impact design, adaption to climate change, ecological value and biodiversity protection.

The BREEAM rating benchmark levels enable a client or other stakeholder to compare an individual building’s performance with other BREEAM rated buildings and the typical sustainability performance of new non-domestic buildings in the UK.

Each BREEAM rating level broadly represents performance equivalent to:

1. Outstanding: Less than top 1% of UK new non-domestic buildings (innovator)
2. Excellent: Top 10% of UK new non-domestic buildings (best practice)
3. Very Good: Top 25% of UK new non-domestic buildings (advanced good practice)
4. Good: Top 50% of UK new non-domestic buildings (intermediate good practice)
5. Pass: Top 75% of UK new non-domestic buildings (standard good practice)

The focus on sustainable value and efficiency makes BREEAM certified developments attractive property investments and generates sustainable environments that enhance the wellbeing of the people who live and work in them.

While building to meet BREEAM’s enhanced standards may incur a capital cost this should be viewed in the context of the overall value of sustainable development. In particular; reduced operational costs, helping to limit investor and developer risk in building for the future, making a building more attractive to let, sell or retain, and creating a healthier workplace.

With an impressive record of achieved savings, our aM&T systems are essential to help you save energy, reduce costs and minimise carbon emissions.  The Enistic range of highly accurate smart meters gathers energy consumption data in real-time (typically reading once every minute) and our cloud based portal delivers dashboard visualisation, monitoring, alerting and reporting. Easy to install, easy to extend – an Enistic solution is fully scaleable – from as little as one metering point – and provides unparalleled visibility from distribution board to circuit to socket.  Enistic can significantly reduce your resource consumption; reducing your environmental impact and your utility bills. We can measure all your utilities including water and gas and we also covers micro-generation projects such as wind, solar, heat pumps, CHPs etc.

With Enistic systems you can not only meet your compulsory BREEAM requirements, but exceed them, gaining valuable points towards achieving the highest possible BREEAM rating as well as potentially saving money on your site’s energy spend. Contact us today to find out more.
