BREEAM Standards

Subscription to the BREEAM Points System, as a framework for analysis and scoring, allows easy comparisons to be made between the relative merits of differing construction types as well as comparisons within construction product groups.

The system promotes the use of materials with a proven sustainable message and allows the designer to differentiate between those products with true ecological credentials and those not achieving the benchmark.

Indicative ratings for building materials given in the BRE Green Guide to Specification also allows designers to choose those products or construction methods that will be most beneficial in contributing to a high BREEAM points score. 

Harmer Drainage Products and Rainwater Harvesting Systems are part of the range of high scoring Alumasc solutions. Promotion of these responsibly sourced materials brings clarity to the specification process thus achieving the desired effect of minimising the environmental impact of the construction process. 

Harmer  Aluminium Drainage components are manufactured from the genuinely recycled Aluminium stocks that make up 70% of the world supply of material. Alumasc Harmer Kessel Rainwater Harvesting Systems are one of the single highest scoring additions that can be made to a building to achieve an ‘outstanding’ or ‘level 6’ grade under the BREEAM or Code for Sustainable Homes rating system.

The BREEAM system also credits highly those Alumasc products contributing to the wider sustainability of a project in areas such as energy conservation and increased biodiversity.
