BRE Global Launches BREEAM New Construction for U.S.
Following a consultation process and collaboration with global design, architecture, engineering and planning firm HOK, BRE Global, the world’s leading building science center, today announced adaptations of the BREEAM International New Construction standard to streamline the pathway to certification for projects located in the United States.
The announcement is the result of a nearly year-long partnership to Americanize the BREEAM International New Construction standard and marks the latest development in BRE Global’s effort to expand in the U.S. market. Earlier this month, BRE Global announced the planned update to the BREEAM In-Use standard to include for the first time the assessment and certification of sustainability performance for existing residential and multifamily buildings in the U.S.
