Heath Avery Architects has sustainability embedded within the office culture and have always provided clients and design teams with forward-thinking environmentally-friendly design.

In the early 1990’s, the Building Research Establishment (BRE) developed a method for the environmental appraisal of developments, called the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method, commonly known as Breeam.

Breeam assessments are now a recognised benchmark for a building’s environmental performance and are becoming part of local planning authority requirements. The assessment methods were developed to enable a development to be recognised for its environmental credentials and provide a credible environmental rating for buildings. The assessments are credit-based and measure different parameters of a building against a wide range of environmental criteria established by BRE. According to performace of the buildings or developments, overall grades of pass, good, very good, excellent or outstanding may be awarded.

Heath Avery Architects offers the full suite of Breeam services, within all sectors:

Bespoke, Courts, Ecohomes, Healthcare, Industrial, International, Multi-residential, Prisons, Offices, Retail, Communities, Education & Schools as well as The Code for Sustainable Homes.
