What is BREEAM excellent rating?
In this respect each BREEAM rating broadly represents performance equivalent to: Outstanding: Less than top 1% of buildings (innovator) Excellent: Top 10% of buildings (best practice) Very Good: Top 25% of buildings (advanced good practice)
What is the rating category for BREEAM?
The resulting overall score is translated into a rating on a scale of BREEAM certification levels: Unclassified (<30%), Pass (>30%), Good (>45%), Very Good (>55%), Excellent (>70%) and Outstanding (>85%). Please note that an unclassified BREEAM rating represents performance that is non-compliant with BREEAM.
How is BREEAM calculated?
The percentage of ‘credits’ achieved is then calculated for each section. The percentage of ‘credits’ achieved in each section is then multiplied by the corresponding section weighting. This gives the overall environmental section score.
What is Casbee rating system?
Comprehensive Assessment System for Built Environment Efficiency (CASBEE) is a system for evaluating and rating the environmental performance of buildings. Various CASBEE schemes, supported by national and local governments, are deployed throughout Japan.
Is BREEAM for residential?

What are the principles of BREEAM?
BREEAM has been developed to meet the following underlying principles:
- Ensure quality through an accessible, holistic and balanced measure of sustainability impacts.
- Use quantified measures for determining sustainability.
- Adopt a flexible approach, avoiding prescriptive specification and design solutions.
Who can determine a BREEAM rating?
A BREEAM Assessor must determine the BREEAM rating using the appropriate assessment tools and calculators. An indication of performance against the BREEAM scheme can also be determined using a BREEAM Pre-Assessment Estimator.
What is Casbee Japan?
Comprehensive Assessment System for Built Environment Efficiency (CASBEE) is a method for evaluating and rating the environmental performance of buildings and the built environment. Consequently, various CASBEE schemes are now deployed all over Japan and supported by national and local governments.
What are breeam standards?
What is BREEAM? BREEAM is the world’s leading sustainability assessment method for masterplanning projects, infrastructure and buildings. It recognises and reflects the value in higher performing assets across the built environment lifecycle, from new construction to in-use and refurbishment.
