BREEAM is the construction industry's own standard for measuring the environmental performance of buildings. Our sensors make it easier to become certified
BREEAM - construction industry's environmental certification
BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is the world's oldest (1990) and Europe's leading environmental certification tool for buildings. BREEAM NOR is a Norwegian adaptation of the international BREEAM system, used to assess and certify the sustainability of construction projects in Norway. The certification covers a range of categories to assess a building or development project's environmental, social, and economic sustainability, including energy use, materials, waste, ecological values, and health and indoor environment.
Relevance of BREEAM NOR for various buildings and developers
BREEAM NOR is relevant for a wide range of buildings, including new construction projects, renovation of existing buildings, and areas wishing to improve or document their sustainability. This includes office buildings, retail, industrial buildings, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and residential buildings. For developers aiming to promote sustainability, increase building market value, reduce operating costs, or meet tenants' and investors' demands for environmentally friendly buildings, BREEAM NOR will be particularly relevant.
The responsibility for understanding and following BREEAM NOR principles lies with developers, who often engage specialized consultants to lead the process. Architects, engineers, and contractors also play a crucial role in designing, constructing, and delivering projects that meet BREEAM Nor requirements.
The importance of moisture control in buildings
Since 2010, we have experienced seven of the worst water damage years in history. The increase particularly applies to damages after heavy rainfall, which we are experiencing more and more. Moisture accumulation in buildings can lead to a range of problems, from structural damage and energy loss to poor indoor air quality and health issues for occupants.

As experts in detecting moisture damage in buildings, we at Sensor Innovation see our role not only as technology providers but also as active contributors to the development of more sustainable and healthier buildings. With our into® sensor system, we offer solutions that strengthen sustainability in construction projects and directly address several key aspects of BREEAM Nor certification.
By implementing our sensor technology, construction projects can achieve higher scores in BREEAM Nor certification. Additionally, it can contribute to innovation points through the use of advanced technological solutions.
Sustainability as a competitive advantage in the market
For developers aiming to achieve a high BREEAM Nor certification, it is crucial to integrate technological solutions that can enhance the building's sustainability and operation. Our into® sensor system represents such a solution, with the potential to significantly contribute to a project's BREEAM Nor points. With our system in the building, developers can deliver buildings that are more attractive to tenants, more energy-efficient, and have lower operating costs over time.
As a leader in moisture sensor technology, we at Sensor Innovation have goals not only to deliver solutions that meet today's needs for sustainable construction but also to set new standards for the future. Through collaboration with housing developers, municipalities, contractors, and public officials, we look forward to continuing our efforts to make sustainable buildings the norm, not the exception.
Our technology and expertise are available to anyone aiming to achieve or exceed BREEAM Nor standards, and we invite all interested parties to explore how our into® sensors can contribute to their projects. Together, we can build a more sustainable future.
