BREEAM.
BREEAM is an assessment undertaken by independent licensed assessors using scientifically based sustainability metrics and indices which cover a range of environmental issues. Its categories evaluate energy and water use, health and wellbeing, pollution, transport, materials, waste, ecology and management processes. Buildings are rated and certified on a scale of 'Pass', 'Good', 'Very Good', 'Excellent' and 'Outstanding'.
The Utopi platform aggregates those key areas of assessment via smart devices and integrations into an easy-to-use dashboard. Real-world data can then be assessed, and custom templates and reports can be drawn. Making BREEAM and BREEAM In-Use assessments a smooth and time efficient process.
