Sustainability accreditations

Sustainability accreditation for buildings has become a fundamental part of the landscape of the property sector. Gleeds fields a team of highly experienced green building accreditation consultants, who help our clients to successfully navigate the assessment process.

We have delivered numerous BREEAM, LEED and SKA certified projects across the globe.

Formal green building certification provides clear evidence of a structure’s environmental performance.

This helps to demonstrate regulatory compliance, attract talent, and increase an asset’s value and longevity.

The most widely adopted accreditation standards provide a valuable framework for designing, building and operating sustainable buildings.

Embedding sustainability principles into a project

At Gleeds, we help our clients and their project teams to understand the topics within each scheme, and how they benefit their buildings, staff and operations. The advice we provide drives informed decisions on the best way to embed sustainability principles into a project.

Our highly experienced specialists also provide support in procuring the right services – including assessors, design teams and contractors – to make green building design and certification an integral, seamless part of project delivery.

BREEAM

We have assessors in all current schemes, including BREEAM International and BREEAM In Use. Our team members are BREEAM Advisory Professionals, helping clients, designers and contractors to deliver highly sustainable buildings. As an active member of BRE’s stakeholder community, Gleeds works to improve the delivery and adoption of BREEAM across the world.

LEED

LEED is the dominant green building assessment tool across large parts of the globe. Our teams of sustainability consultants deliver LEED-certified projects, acting as both LEED Accredited Professionals and sustainability specialists to help designers and contractors meet requirements.

SKA

We’re experts in the sustainable fit-out and refurbishment of buildings, and the use of the SKArating scheme to support the drive to Net Zero carbon. Our expertise extends beyond using the scheme, with Gleeds colleagues playing an active role on SKArating’s technical and development committees.
