Discover how BREEAM‑NL provides direction for resilient and valuable real estate.
BREEAM is the most widely used sustainability certification scheme for buildings in the world and is applied in more than one hundred countries. In the Netherlands, it is used not only by real estate parties, but also by universities, municipalities and institutional investors. From homes and offices to hotels and logistics real estate: BREEAM shows how sustainable a building really is and where you can improve. Major players such as Vesteda, Prologis and The Social Hub use it to make their buildings future-ready. In this session, you will learn what BREEAM is, why so many organisations use it, and how you— as a future professional—can create impact with it in the built environment.
