Key Info

First BREEAM Certification in Australia

AESSEAL’s new Australian headquarters is the first BREEAM-certified building in the country, achieving an 'Excellent' rating with a score of 78.3%. This marks a major step forward for sustainability in Australasia.

Challenge

Introducing BREEAM to a new market posed several challenges, including navigating unfamiliar certification requirements and adapting international sustainability benchmarks to local construction practices. The team needed to ensure that BREEAM's principles were meaningfully integrated from day one, requiring close collaboration and a willingness to adopt new processes and perspectives.

Outcome & Solution

We worked closely with the Australia-based client and design team from the very start, providing strategic sustainability guidance throughout the design phase. Our involvement helped ensure that BREEAM criteria were fully understood and embedded across the project. Thanks to a dedicated and collaborative effort from all parties, the building not only met but exceeded expectations, setting a precedent for future sustainable developments in the region.
