BREEAM - International Brand Image source: webstockreview.net BREEAM methodology is used by many regional GBCs as a basis for their sustainability label. The ‘Environmental Assessment Method’ of buildings was originally developed by the Building Research Establishment (BRE), a British research organization, hence the name BREEAM. BRE has had more than 100,000 buildings certified and operates in 15 different countries. ​ National Scheme Operators translate the International version of BREEAM and make it applicable to their country.

There are differences in the various international schemes, but they are still comparable and valued similarly. Green Building Councils in Europe
