BREEAM has a different approach, and if there are similarities with the technical criteria with LEED, the processes vary considerably. In BREEAM there is the concept of an appraiser, and when a project is developed (usually by involving a BREEAM consultant), it is checked by an appraiser one person, not a group of experts. The (BREEAM) Refurbishment and Fit-Out 2014 standard had been in development for around two years, a period which included consultations with some of the UKs largest commercial property occupiers including Lloyds, Boots, Legal & General and The Green Investment Bank.

Once your final application review is complete, your project team can either accept or appeal GBCIs final review report or request an additional supplemental (appeal) review. With previous BREEAM schemes most buildings were only assessed at a design stage. Not only does BREEAM determine a buildings level of sustainability, but also the economic, environmental and social benefits that it has for the people linked to the life cycle of that building.
