Narrative:

Configured for landing; cleared for landing; and on localizer/GS at approximately 1300 ft AGL; EICAS brake l-hand fault and brake r-hand fault occurred with autobrake kickoff. Pilot monitoring referred to QRH and determined time was required for non-normal checklist. Pilot monitoring (captain) called for go around with tower. Coordination with departure/arrival; informed them of the nature of the problem; requested delay vectors to accomplish checklists. While executing checklist; it was decided that declaring an emergency was appropriate for the reduced braking capability. Standard information given to ATC and stated to 'expect normal landing with ability to taxi to gate;' flight attendant briefed (also to expect normal landing); passenger briefed by captain. Completed non-normal checklists; experienced normal landing and turnoff. Brakes were effective yet had felt 'soft.' during taxi in; outboard brakes indicated cold while inboard brakes became amber. Normal taxi to gate.
