BREEAM - NL
BREEAM - NL
BREEAM – NL has been the certification method for a sustainably built environment since 2009. With this method, projects can be assessed on integral sustainability. BREEAM stands for Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method and is used in more than 80 countries worldwide and is a global standard for sustainable building. The method was developed in England by the Building Research Establishment (BRE). The Dutch Green Building Council (Dutch Green Building Council) has made the method suitable for the Netherlands and translated it into BREEAM – EN. Adamasgroup is one of the founding partners of the DGBC and has been actively involved in developing this standard for the Netherlands since 2007.
Sustainable building with the BREEAM Certificate
Subsidy for sustainable building
With a sustainable building you not only save on your operational costs. Sustainable projects are popular with investors because you can demonstrably comply with future laws and regulations. This gives the property a higher value and generates higher rental income. This added value can be as much as 20%. A building with a BREEAM-NL certificate also offers subsidy opportunities; there are various subsidy schemes that you can claim. The Adamas group provides advice in the field of the MIA, the EIA, the SDE+.
Healthy
Future proof
With BREEAM – NL you prepare your project for the future. The bar of BREEAM-NL is higher than the legal requirements. This way your building is better prepared for increased legal requirements. BREEAM-NL also gives you the opportunity to provide the correct answers to taxonomy issues more quickly. Adamasgroup is also happy to advise you on this.

BREEAM-NL Expert and Assessor
Two functions are crucial for a BREEAM-NL certification: the BREEAM-NL Expert and the BREEAM-NL Assessor. Our team of consultants consists of both experts and assessors, who have extensive experience in certifying sustainable real estate developments with BREEAM-NL and BREEAM International.
As a BREEAM-NL Expert, we provide advice on certification with BREEAM-NL and how sustainability aspects can contribute to a better functioning building. In addition, our expert guides a project team in completing the certification process. The BREEAM-NL Expert ensures that the evidence on the sustainability performance of a project is presented and takes care of the communication with the assessor and the DGBC.
As a BREEAM-NL Assessor, we are authorized to carry out the formal assessment of the project and issue the final BREEAM-NL certificate. The DGBC is the licensee of the BREEAM-NL and checks whether the assessor has done the work according to the correct procedures.
