BREEAM for logistics warehouses

We focus on BREEAM topics that bring measurable value to industrial projects, including energy efficiency and lower operating costs, embodied carbon, rainwater management, resilience to extreme weather and ecology. We identify the most cost-effective credits and use expert services and simulations to help achieve the highest practical rating without unnecessary spending. A strong BREEAM rating also supports asset value and helps increase attractiveness to tenants, investors and financial institutions.

Where project conditions allow, we group multiple construction phases or buildings into a single registration and assessment. This can deliver significant savings on certification costs and BRE fees while maintaining the required certification quality.

We use the same energy modelling methodology across countries rather than relying on local energy certificates. This supports Ene 01 performance and enables buildings within international portfolios to be assessed and compared on a consistent basis.

We are physically present during construction to support contractors in meeting BREEAM requirements and collecting the necessary evidence. Clients also receive access to complete BREEAM documentation throughout the process, providing a transparent and auditable record of the certification.

We calculate embodied carbon for A1-A5 modules at three stages of the project, benchmark the results against the UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard and report progress throughout the project. This allows embodied carbon performance to be monitored and considered as the design develops.

In the majority of cases, the final certificate can be issued within approximately 70 days of BRE’s written confirmation of project acceptance, provided all required documentation is available.

We provide energy simulations using a consistent methodology across countries, allowing energy performance to be assessed consistently across international portfolios without relying on local energy certificates. Our work includes Ene 01 optimisation, building performance analysis and studies focused on reducing energy demand and long-term operating costs.

We assess embodied carbon across A1-A5 modules, benchmark results against recognised standards and support design optimisation throughout the project. We also assist with sustainable procurement, review supplier specifications and verify material compliance with BREEAM requirements.

Our support continues on site throughout construction. We carry out regular site visits, work directly with contractors, collect the required evidence and monitor compliance with BREEAM requirements, including waste management and sustainable construction practices. This helps identify and resolve issues before they become certification risks.

We manage the certification process through regular progress reporting, client workshops and BREEAM meetings, complete documentation management and submission to BRE through to final certification. Clients have access to the certification documentation throughout the process. Where required, we also integrate EU Taxonomy requirements directly into our work, reducing duplication and simplifying ESG compliance.

We minimise costs to 0–1% of construction expenses through simulations — contact us for a quote.

It depends on the project, but with regular reports and visits, the process is efficient.

We achieve it at no additional cost, which complies with the EU Taxonomy and increases value.

Clients have access to all documents and materials submitted to BRE.

Yes, we work with them on the management of the site to meet the certification criteria.

In most cases, the final certificate can be issued within approximately 70 days of project acceptance by BRE, provided all required documentation is available.

Yes. Under certain conditions, multiple phases can be grouped into a single BREEAM assessment, reducing certification costs and BRE fees.

Yes. We regularly visit construction sites, support contractors, collect evidence and help resolve compliance issues before they become certification risks.

Yes. We provide energy modelling and thermodynamic simulations that support Ene 01 credits, improve energy performance and help reduce energy demand and operating costs.
