Whole Life Carbon
Reducing carbon isn’t just a design ambition, it’s fast becoming a planning requirement, funding condition and reputational benchmark. But whole life carbon involves complex trade-offs across materials, construction, and operational energy, often with limited data and conflicting priorities.
So how do you make confident, cost-aware decisions that genuinely reduce emissions across the full lifecycle of your building?
-
If you're unsure where your biggest carbon impacts lie, we assess embodied and operational emissions to help you target reductions that align with the RICS v2 methodology to aid in planning, ESG and net-zero goals.
We offer:
Life cycle assessments (LCA) for both whole life carbon and embodied carbon
Materials life cycle analysis
-
Struggling to balance material choices with long-term energy use? We quantify both upfront and in-use carbon to guide smarter decisions at every stage, from early design to handover.
We offer:
Embodied carbon analysis
Operational carbon analysis
-
Want to reduce waste and improve resilience? We embed circular principles into your project, supporting reuse and adaptability.
We offer:
Compliance reporting for BREEAM, GLA requirements and client ESG frameworks
Circular economy statements
-
Confused by the different standards and reporting requirements to meet them? We offer services to support a wide range of strategic planning and compliance approaches for carbon reporting, including:
Low and zero-carbon (LZC) feasibility studies
ESG policies/strategies
Net-zero roadmaps and implementation plans
Environmental performance declaration assessments
Carbon management reporting (PAS 2080)
EPD (environmental product declarations)
GHG assessments (Scope 1, 2 and 3)
-
Unsure how to move away from gas or legacy heating systems? We provide strategic advisory services that extend beyond fabric retrofit.
We offer:
Estate decarbonisation plans including site constraints and capital planning
Review and suitability of available technologies
Review of funding opportunities
Planning for readiness and transition to a net-zero future
