Consider using BREEAM

BREEAM (Buildings Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is a globally recognised scheme that aims to quantify and reduce the environmental burdens of buildings by rewarding designs that take positive steps to minimise their environmental impacts. All public sector office fit outs must be BREEAM certified.

BREEAM Office Fit-Out
The BRE Environmental Assessment Method for Offices, includes a specific methodology for fit outs. It has been designed to help professionals understand and mitigate against the environmental impacts of the offices they design and fit out.

BREEAM Offices is the world’s most widely used means of reviewing and improving the environmental performance of office buildings. Assessments can be carried out on both new and existing office buildings, and you work towards achieving a BREEAM rating that ranges between excellent and pass.

The two most popular assessment methods are BREEAM & LEED (leadership in Energy & Environmental Design). LEED is the US de-facto standard for rating the 'Greenness' of a building, but BREEAM is recommended for use in the UK because it closely aligns itself to UK Building Regulations, and in 2019 it is expected to be incorporated into UK Building Regulations. To date, 110,000 offices in the UK have been BREEAM certified, whilst only 2,000 offices have used the LEED methodology.
