What is BREEAM certification?
BREEAM stands for Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method. It is the world's leading standard for sustainable real estate. The method assesses buildings on energy use, choice of materials, water management and user comfort, and then awards a rating from Pass to Outstanding. The higher the score, the lower your operating costs generally are and the stronger your ESG profile.
In the Netherlands, BREEAM-NL applies, developed by the Dutch Green Building Council (DGBC). This version is fully aligned with Dutch laws, regulations and climate ambitions, so an Excellent or Outstanding rating under BREEAM-NL adds demonstrable value for your organisation and stakeholders.
Why choose a BREEAM certified office?
BREEAM-NL assesses buildings on nine themes, including energy, health, water, use of materials and waste. A high score delivers tangible added value:
- Higher property value: demonstrable sustainability attracts investors and quality-conscious tenants.
- Lower operating costs: energy- and water-saving installations reduce monthly costs.
- Healthy workplaces: optimal air quality, plenty of daylight and excellent sound insulation boost productivity and well-being.
- Stronger ESG profile: visible proof of corporate social responsibility supports your reputation and reporting obligations.

How to get a BREEAM certificate
A BREEAM certificate is not a formality but an extensive, independent process that starts as soon as a developer or building owner commits to building or renovating in a demonstrably sustainable way. Below you will find the full process and the benefits for your organisation.
Project registration with the DGBC
The owner registers the project with the Dutch Green Building Council (DGBC). The sustainability goals, the target certification score and the schedule are recorded, so the architect, contractor, installers and consultants are aligned from day one.
Comprehensive assessment in nine categories
BREEAM-NL assesses not only energy use but also water saving, indoor environment, health, transport, choice of materials, waste management, ecology and management. Credits can be earned in each category. The more credits, the higher the final result, leading to an office that is both efficient and pleasant for employees.
Data collection and calculation with the BREEAM Assessment Tool
During design and construction, specialists collect evidence such as EPC calculations, material certificates, ventilation tests and lighting simulations. The BREEAM Assessment Tool converts this data into points and immediately shows opportunities for improvement, so the team can adjust in time to achieve the target score.
Independent on-site verification
After completion, an accredited BREEAM assessor carries out an inspection. Among other things, the assessor measures air flows, checks the use of materials and inspects the waste separation facilities, to confirm that the claims on paper are correct.
Award of the certificate
The DGBC then awards a rating: Pass, Good, Very Good, Excellent or Outstanding. With Excellent and Outstanding, the building is among the international frontrunners in sustainability. The owner receives an official certificate, a digital logo and a plaque at the entrance as visible proof of the achievement.
BREEAM Excellent: one of the highest levels
A BREEAM Excellent certification puts a building at the forefront of energy performance, choice of materials and user comfort. Synderella looks closely at sustainability when choosing new locations: The Bridge in Amsterdam Zuidoost has been built with the ambition of BREEAM Excellent.
What does this mean for your organisation?
- Lower business costs thanks to significantly reduced energy and water consumption
- A stronger ESG profile that aligns well with CSRD reporting and investor requirements
- A healthy, inspiring workplace with plenty of daylight, optimal air quality and excellent acoustics. Ideal for attracting and retaining talent.
