Achieving Inclusion and Sustainability
The Building Research Establishment Environment Assessment Method – BREEAM – is recognised nationally and internationally for assessing the environmental performance of buildings.
The BREEAM Scheme requires preparation of an Access Statement to achieve the credit for inclusive and accessible design, and recommends the appointment of a consultant accredited by the National Register of Access Consultants.
There is a synergy between access and sustainability but also potential conflicts in their requirements. We understand the environmental assessment standards of BREEAM and can therefore advise our clients to ensure inclusion and sustainability are achieved.
