BREEAM In-Use

Improve building performance & commitment to sustainability

What is BREEAM In-Use?
BREEAM In-Use is a widely recognised, online assessment and certification system that helps you understand and improve the ongoing environmental performance of existing buildings. Suitable for offices, retail, industrial, and mixed-use assets, this standard allows property owners, managers, and occupiers to assess and enhance how their buildings are operated and maintained day to day.

Why is BREEAM In-Use necessary?
BREEAM In-Use provides a simple yet powerful framework for boosting operational efficiency, reducing environmental impact, and lowering running costs. With a focus on real-world performance, it covers areas such as energy use, water consumption, waste management, and occupant wellbeing. Regular benchmarking and independent third-party certification help keep your buildings compliant with regulations and aligned to the latest market expectations.

For clients, the benefits are clear:

- Achieve and prove measurable progress on sustainability
- Keep assets competitive and attractive to tenants and investors
- Strengthen asset value and marketability
- Reduce operating costs and environmental risks
- Promote healthier, more efficient spaces for building users

Using BREEAM In-Use is an investment in both regulatory peace of mind and your long-term commercial success.
