AESSEAL Australia has announced that its headquarters building in Brisbane has been certified under the BREEAM sustainability scheme - the first building in Australia to receive such a certification.
BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is a way of evaluating a building’s specification, design, construction, and use in a range of categories including energy and ecology. Each category focuses on factors including reduced carbon emissions, low impact design, adaptation to climate change, ecological value and biodiversity protection.
Carbon Climate Certified Managing Director Barry Rankin said that AESSEAL’s Australian HQ had achieved a BREEAM Certification of ‘Excellent’ with a credit score of 78.3%. He said that the award was a tribute to the spirit of collaboration and the efforts of the entire team in the Australian operation.
Mr Rankin said:
BREEAM Certification in any country is always challenging, to be the first to adapt and apply local regulations, standards and design philosophies to meet the BREEAM International V6 criteria is a brilliant achievement. Well done to the team and congratulations to all involved.
Since its launch in 1990, BREEAM has registered buildings around the world which have been judged to have met standards of environmental and social governance (ESG), health and net zero goals, with the aim of achieving greater sustainability for civil engineering projects.
