April 14, 2010—The U.K.’s BRE Global has announced the BREEAM Awards for 2010. The awards recognize and reward those involved in the design and construction of the highest-scoring buildings certified under BREEAM in the past year. A BREEAM “Excellent” rating is a pre-qualification.
Each development was independently assessed and objectively certified. In order to win an award, each building must have excelled in every environmental category within BREEAM (e.g. Energy, Materials, Waste, Water, Ecology, Pollution, Transport, Management, and Health and Well-Being); therefore the 16 winners represent a holistic approach to delivering environmental sustainability, notes BRE Global.
