BREEAM

Hamilton-Clark have successful first hand experience in the BREEAM process.

BREEAM sets the standard for best practice in sustainable building design, construction and operation and has become one of the most comprehensive and widely recognised measures of a building’s environmental performance.

We are proud to have played an important role in assisting one of our key clients to secure retail ‘Excellent’ rating. The sustainable refrigeration system provided a significant contribution to the process. At the time the certificate was issued, November 2010, this particular scheme was only the second national project to achieve this rating under the ‘BREAM retail 2008’ criteria.

A BREEAM assessment uses recognised measures of performance, which are set against established benchmarks to evaluate a building’s specification, design, construction and use.  The measures used represent a broad range of categories and criteria from energy to ecology.  They include aspects related to energy and water use, the internal environment (health and well-being), pollution, transport, materials, waste, ecology and management processes.
