BRE (Building Research Establishment)
Watford, Reino Unido
British research and innovation centre in construction, originally public and now independent, creator of the BREEAM environmental certification method for buildings, the first of its kind in the world (1990) and one of the most widely used internationally. BRE researches safety, efficiency, materials and sustainability of the built environment, and through BREEAM assesses and scores the environmental performance of buildings and neighbourhoods. It matters for decarbonising construction because its certification drives more energy-, water-, materials- and embodied carbon-efficient design decisions in thousands of projects.
