Sustainability is essential in the modern approach to architecture and engineering. In this context, BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is central as a leading certification for sustainable buildings. <\/p>\n
In this blog, we dive deeper into BREEAM. We discuss who it is relevant for, which interior elements influence achieving this certificate, and how TREU interior specials responds to this. <\/em><\/p>\n BREEAM is a key concept for everyone active in the world of construction. A BREEAM certificate demonstrates the sustainability performance of buildings across various criteria, including energy efficiency, materials, water use, health and well-being, and management. In short, BREEAM evaluates buildings on their environmental impact and encourages the adoption of eco-friendly practices. Buildings are assessed and certified on a scale of ‘Pass’, ‘Good’, ‘Very Good’, ‘Excellent’, and ‘Outstanding’. <\/p>\n BREEAM is usually associated with the construction and structure of buildings, but it plays an equally crucial role in the assessment of interior finishing<\/em>. This approach, where sustainability extends to the smallest details of a building, forms the basis of a more responsible built environment. <\/p>\n In short, BREEAM is valuable for architects, interior designers, project developers, property managers, and end users such as companies. It acts as a sustainability compass, guiding architects and interior designers in creating eco-friendly and energy-efficient designs. <\/p>\n In the pursuit of a higher BREEAM rating, interior elements are essential. Aspects such as the materials used, production processes, product lifespan, and their ultimate environmental impact are at the heart of this assessment. Think of floor coverings, furniture, wall coverings, lighting, and even accessories; every detail contributes to the sustainability of the interior and thus to the overall BREEAM level of the building. <\/p>\n TREU interior specials, while not directly involved in the structural design, plays an important role when it comes to sustainable interior finishing. As the exclusive agent for Halbmond for the Dutch market, TREU selects carpets that meet sustainability standards. In this way, TREU offers solutions that fit within the context of a BREEAM-certified project. <\/p>\n Halbmond’s carpets and rugs meet high sustainability standards. Attention is paid to production processes, the origin of materials, and the environmental impact during the products’ lifespan. <\/p>\n However, TREU interior specials can contribute to sustainable interior finishing in more ways. This includes local production of carpets and rugs, manufacturing them with 100% recycled waste material, using materials with significantly reduced volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, and integrating acoustic considerations into the product range. In this way, TREU interior specials strives to have a positive impact on BREEAM-certified projects within the domain of interior finishing. <\/p>\n Do you also want to make a sustainable impact with your project? We would be happy to discuss your specific goals with you. <\/p>\nBREEAM in a nutshell<\/h2>\n
