Offices

BREEAM for Offices is the world's most widely used means of reviewing and improving the environmental performance of office buildings. It can be carried out on both new and existing office buildings, whether they are occupied or not, as follows:

• New build or refurbishment: Design and Procurement BREEAM
• Existing office (empty): Core BREEAM
• Existing office (occupied): Management and Operation BREEAM

Buildings are awarded a Pass, Good, Very Good or Excellent under the BREEAM 2006 for Offices scheme. BREEAM Offices is revised every autumn to ensure that it remains representative of current best practice and takes account of technical and legislative changes.

Pre-assessment estimators

To help you approximate the likely rating to be achieved under BREEAM Offices, and to see the level of information required by an assessor, two pre-assessment estimators are available as PDF files:

Ambient's assessors will guide the design team through the whole assessment process. Our aim is to ensure that the assessment is made as simple and transparent as possible, our experience allows us to tailor the process directly to client's needs.
