What is BREEAM Domestic Refurbishment?

Providing a rating of Pass to Outstanding, BREEAM Domestic Refurbishment will evaluate the environmental credentials of refurbishment projects based upon BREEAM's UKAS accredited certification standards already applied to over 200,000 buildings around the world.

Developed as a tool for designers, financiers, policy makers, developers, planning authorities and landlords, BREEAM Domestic Refurbishment will give confidence that housing refurbishment meets best environmental practice by saving carbon, water and waste, being adaptable to climate change and providing a healthy indoor environment for occupants.
