Abstract
The literature examining BREEAM was explored to extract an overview of the
effectiveness of the method in assessing sustainability in built developments. It was
found that BREEAM is a respected assessment tool, with much potential to develop
into a valuable driver towards sustainable development in the construction industry.
Shortfalls were discovered in the way the method has been used, e.g. in the
industry understanding of sustainable development as a holistic concept; in the
focus on short-term financial rewards; in the lack of site-specific consideration of the
application of solutions.
