A BREEAM noise assessment evaluates both internal acoustic performance and external noise impact to help your project earn credits under the HEA 05 and POL 05 categories.
HEA 05: Indoor Acoustic Performance – measures indoor ambient noise levels, sound insulation, and reverberation times to provide a comfortable, productive environment for building occupants.
POL 05: External Noise Control – focuses on controlling noise from fixed installations, such as plant equipment, to reduce the impact on nearby sensitive properties.
While the BREEAM assessment is not legally required across the UK, it’s become a common expectation: many local authorities actively request it to make sure new builds cut down on environmental noise and disruption in the area.
Our acoustic consultants provide expert BREEAM assessments to help achieve the maximum credits for your project. We deliver detailed reporting that supports both planning applications and BREEAM certification.
Site survey: our BREEAM consultants visit the site to measure existing noise levels and evaluate building design
Analysis & modelling: we assess indoor and outdoor noise performance using industry-standard software
Recommendations: actionable advice is provided on ways to improve acoustic performance to meet BREEAM requirements
Reporting: a comprehensive report is provided to present to BREEAM assessors
