BREEAM compatible products
BREEAM Buildings can be used to assess the environmental performance of any type of building (new and existing). Standard versions exist for common building types and less common building types can be assessed against tailored criteria under the Bespoke BREEAM version. Buildings outside the UK can also be assessed using BREEAM International.
The BREEAM assessment process was created in 1990 with the first two versions covering offices and homes. Versions are updated regularly in line with UK Building Regulations and different building versions have been created since its launch to assess various building types.
These versions essentially look at the same broad range of environmental impacts:
Credits are awarded in each of the above areas according to performance. A set of environmental weightings then enables the credits to be added together to produce a single overall score. The building is then rated on a scale of:
PASS, GOOD, VERY GOOD or EXCELLENT and a certificate awarded to the development.
Cistermiser Ltd has always been associated with water efficiency and the conservation of water and has recently expanded this association with a new range of products that can bring good management and improved efficiency to all aspects of the washroom from the efficient use of water for urinals, WCs and basins to zonal control of water, lighting and ventilation and with the new AV range we are now able to provide water efficient solutions within a high risk environment.
All Cistermiser products can help a building design achieve BREEAM credits and hence a higher overall BREEAM rating.
