Effinature × BREEAM LE
BREEAM – Land Use & Ecology (LE)
Compared with BREEAM – Land Use & Ecology (LE), Effinature covers the applicable biodiversity criteria as follows: NCO 8/9, EVO 8/9, HOR 7/9, HVE 6/9. The remaining Effinature criteria go beyond this framework's biodiversity scope.
With Effinature certification, you already meet BREEAM LE
The Effinature NCO reference covers 8/9 of BREEAM LE's applicable biodiversity criteria — and documents 40 additional criteria that BREEAM LE does not require.
