BEAM Plus Assessment Tool
Green buildings use less energy and reduce water and material usages than conventional buildings which in turn limit greenhouse gas emissions. The aim of the BEAM Plus assessment is to reduce the environmental impact of buildings while maintaining and, in fact in many areas, even improving quality of the built environment and users’ satisfaction by adopting the best techniques, practices, and standards compatible with prevailing economic constraints.
