BRE services

Understanding the private rented stock in your area can be instrumental to informing strategies to improve these dwellings and tackle issues, yet there is little in the way of definitive information on which properties are rented. This analysis assists with the identification of private rented properties using a range of data sources and innovative techniques.

Based on the BRE “Real Cost of Poor Housing” research and the BRE Housing Stock Model, the HIA facilitates the understanding of the impact of poor housing conditions on the health of the occupiers.

We work with national and local government, commercial and not-for-profit organisations to address defining challenges in the built environment: net zero, decarbonisation, climate change, energy efficiency, resource efficiency, health and wellbeing, circular economy and renewable energy.

BRE has extensive, world class laboratory facilities for acoustic research and testing.
