BREEAM Retail

BREEAM Retail can be used to carry out environmental assessments for most types of retail development, and for a number of different stakeholders ranging from developers to individual tenants, managing agents and landlords.

Assessments can be carried out on single units or whole developments at four different stages in the building life cycle:

• New build
• Major refurbishment
• Tenant fit-out
• Existing building (occupied): called 'Management and Operation' assessment

 

BREEAM Retail can assess the following types of Retail developments:

• General display and sale of goods: For example Shopping Centre, DIY stores, showrooms and all general retail outlets
• Food retail: For example supermarkets, general stores with a food retail section and shops that sell food for consumption off the premises.
• Customer service retail: For example bank, post office, dry cleaners, travel agency etc.

Currently BREEAM Retail cannot assess restaurants that do not form part of a wider development.

The BREEAM Retail Pre-Assessment Estimator can be used to understand the issues covered by a BREEAM Retail assessment, and to see the level of information required by an assessor.
