If you’ve worked on building projects in the last decade (or two) around the world then you’ve likely come across LEED and BREEAM. I received my LEED GA certification circa 2012 and at the time thought it was the only reputable “green building” certification on the market (classic American point of view). I then worked on a few projects overseas and heard that it was actually number 2.The Dutch are known for their and I was lucky enough to partner with one of the Netherland’s largest developers recently for a huge project.
Throughout the negotiations they kept referring to BREEAM and also brought WELL to the table (which I’ll get into another time).
