BREEAM (British Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is a highly popular certification system that globally recognises sustainable building projects. How does it work? And how can Reynaers Aluminium products make your project BREEAM-certified? Find out in this article. The BREEAM certificate is a reliable quality and sustainability label. It is awarded to projects that pay attention to sustainable building design and that reduce the environmental impact of their products as much as possible. BREEAM evaluates your building on several sustainable categories and awards credits, weighted for each category. The result is a final building score that ranges from “BREEAM Pass” to “BREEAM Outstanding.” Copyright [**DC New Logic III**](/inspiration/aluminium-project-references/sliding-folding-facades-dc-new-logic-iii-tilburg "DC New Logic III") – Habeon Architecten (architects), Hennie Raaymakers (photographer) Share this story - [f](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A//www.reynaers.ie/markdownify/node/6538%3Futm_source%3Dfacebook%26utm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_campaign%3Dwebsite) - [t](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=https%3A//www.reynaers.ie/markdownify/node/6538%3Futm_source%3Dtwitter%26utm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_campaign%3Dwebsite) - [l](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=1&url=https%3A//www.reynaers.ie/markdownify/node/6538%3Futm_source%3Dlinkedin%26utm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_campaign%3Dwebsite) - [p](https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/) - [m]() ## You might also like [ See all stories ](/stories) - ![Close up of glazed façade](/sites/default/files/public/styles/teaser_medium/public/2026-03/150478F0005-BOSL.jpg?h=17fd743d&itok=sJUFKDUv) ### Low-carbon simulation and optimisation at Reynaers Aluminium [](/inspiration/stories/sustainability/low-carbon-simulation-and-optimisation) Read this - ![ReTurn logo in front of pile of aluminium scrap in blue bin.](/sites/default/files/public/styles/teaser_medium/public/2026-03/reynaers-aluminium-return-banner.png?h=61f1cca7&itok=l0XPyQ3N) ### ReTurn: Reynaers Aluminium turns waste into resources with new closed-loop systems [](/inspiration/stories/sustainability/closed-loop-systems) Read this [ See all stories ](/stories)
