Green Building Certifications
BREEAM sits at the heart of our practice, reflecting its position as the most widely adopted certification standard across Europe. Our advisory work spans the certification lifecycle — from evidence collection and pre-assessment, through to detailed evidence analysis and submission, to long-term portfolio integration.
While our expertise is anchored in BREEAM, we also support clients in navigating complementary green building certifications where appropriate, ensuring assets remain competitive and aligned with both GRESB scoring and broader corporate ESG frameworks.​
Data-Backed Sustainability Strategies
Our approach integrates rigorous technical assessment with investment-grade data analysis, enabling sustainability to be both quantifiable and comparable across assets.
By converting certification metrics into decision-ready intelligence, we provide clients with insights that directly inform asset selection, portfolio optimisation and consistent ESG reporting.
Investment-Focused Advisory
We specialise in working with investors and occupiers, providing a bridge between technical sustainability detail and capital allocation decisions.
Our role is to ensure sustainability is embedded in fund theses, asset transformation plans and exit strategies, enabling clients to translate certification into measurable competitive advantage at both the individual asset and wider portfolio level.
Architectural and Technical Integration
Founded by Chartered Architect Peter Howle, our team combines technical mastery of building performance with strategic foresight.
This dual expertise enables us to anticipate risks, identify certification opportunities and deliver outcomes that extend beyond compliance to create long-term financial and environmental value.
From Foundations to Future
Sustainalytica’s story is inseparable from the evolution of sustainable real estate. From the UN’s Our Common Futurereport to the creation and growth of BREEAM, each milestone reflects the increasing importance of certified performance in investment decision-making.
Sustainalytica was founded at the moment BREEAM became the clear market standard, responding to investor demand for rigorous, fast, and strategic certification support. Our trajectory mirrors the wider market’s: grounded in sustainability, driven by evidence and focused on unlocking long-term value.
