The BREEAM International New construction standard is used for new developments in the US. This standard provides a framework to encourage clients and designers to strive for the most sustainable building within the constraints of the project. Certificates can be issued at the design stage (noted as interim BREEAM rating based on the design) and post-construction to confirm the final BREEAM rating.
