Accredited LCA data like Eurobond’s Environmental Product Declarations are used as an input into a BREEAM assessment.

BREEAM is predominately a design stage tool and is the world's most widely used environmental assessment method for buildings.

It measures performance against set criteria to provide an overall score which will fall within a band providing either a; PASS, GOOD, VERY GOOD or EXCELLENT rating.

It is important to implement details into the design as early as possible. By doing this it will be easier to obtain a higher rating and a more cost effective result.

Within the materials section, credits are available for choosing major building elements with a low environmental impact.
