Is LEED too much for your building? There are alternatives, just as rigorous but, often, more accessible. BREEAM is a leading sustainability assessment method for master planning projects, infrastructure, and buildings. With more than 541,200 BREEAM certified developments - and almost 2,239,000 buildings registered for assessment globally - BREEAM is well recognized by international investors. With the launch of BREEAM USA, BREEAM is now taking off in the United States. This program is particularly suitable for markets and buildings where other certification programs are too unwieldy. Learn from property managers who have implemented BREEAM how to clear the program through budgets, implement, and market the certification.
