This BSRIA White Paper looks at developments over the past 10 years in building assessment schemes. Key features are given for BREEAM, LEED and WELL, and comparisons are made between the three schemes. The White Paper also discusses issues of energy, wellbeing and the performance gap.
In 2009, BSRIA took a closer look at BREEAM and LEED, after the latter had started to make inroads into the market for environmental assessment methods. The article BREEAM or LEED - strengths and weaknesses of the two main environmental assessment methods was written by Eszter Gulacsy, Technical director (sustainability) at Mott MacDonald. In this BSRIA White Paper, Eszter has revisited the topic to see how things have evolved in the market.
