BREEAM

Within the BREEAM certification standard, I have contributed to the certification of new and existing buildings, working in all areas of the certification process, from the review of buildings to the tasks as Assessor, which has allowed me to obtain the BREEAM AP certification and to consider myself as an expert in the certification, so my short-medium term goals are to obtain the BREEAM NC Assessor and BREEAM In-Use Assessor certifications.

BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) protocol is an international standard for assessing sustainable buildings, focusing on the environmental certification of new constructions and existing buildings. 

It evaluates various aspects of design and construction to promote sustainable practices and reduce environmental impact. The protocol covers a wide range of usage types, including Residential, Commercial, Education, Residential Institutions, Hotels, and non-standard building types. To date, BREEAM has certified over 500,000 building assessments in more than 85 countries. 

Certification levels are expressed as a percentage on a scale of seven levels: UNCLASSIFIED, ACCEPTABLE, PASS, GOOD, VERY GOOD, EXCELLENT, and OUTSTANDING.
