Abstract
The basis of the scheme is a certificate awarded to individual buildings on the basis of 'credits' for a set of performance criteria, the main objectives of which are: To distinguish buildings of reduced environmental impact in the market place, encourage best environmental practice in building design, operation, management and maintenance, set criteria and standards going beyond those required by law and regulations and raise the awareness of owners, occupants, designers and operators of the benefits of buildings with a reduced impact on the environment. Assessment prediction checklists allow a quick evaluation of the likely rating to be achieved under a formal BREEAM Offices 2003 assessment. The checklist is a simplified version of the full method, for this reason the final rating may vary.
