BREEAM certified planning plans

BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is one of the world's leading certification systems for sustainability in buildings and planning.

BREEAM certification

BREEAM certification ensures that projects meet strict requirements for environmental impact, quality of life and energy efficiency.

The certification is divided into the following categories:

  • Consultation and management
  • Social and economic well-being
  • Resources and energy
  • Land use and ecology
  • Transportation and accessibility

Quality of the built environment

Garðabær emphasizes the quality of the built environment in all planning work.

In Garðabær there are two districts with BREEAM certified planning plans:

  • Urridaholt
  • Vífilsstaðir (Vetrarmýri and Hnoðraholt north).

Planning work for Arnarland is also going through a BREEAM certification process. Planning plans are available on the website Planning Agency.
