BREEAM

Better for the environment

Energy labels, CO2 reduction, energy neutral, gasless, circular. If you are going to build new buildings, the ‘sustainable’ terms are all around. More and more companies are opting for BREEAM-NL certification for new buildings.

BREEAM-NL aims to realize sustainable buildings with minimal impact on the environment. Among other things, these buildings are equipped with the most effective installations. They meet criteria that go beyond the legal requirements. And last but not least, they increase the awareness of owners, users, developers and managers of the benefits of sustainable buildings.

Still, there are a number of very good reasons:

• The measures generally lead to a reduction in water and energy consumption and a more efficient use of the building, which in turn leads to savings in operating costs.
• Thanks to the certificate, a building remains worth more in the future.
• Many organisations have a CSR policy that includes sustainable housing. With a BREEAM-NL certification you can actually prove this.
• A (proven) sustainable building is interesting for project developers and investors to rent out, certainly in the long term.
• In the real estate world a BREEAM-NL certificate is recognizable. Its value is also recognised abroad. You can use it to make clear to tenants and potential buyers what level of sustainable measures have been applied.
