Building carbon, LCA and circularity solutions

Embodied Carbon Assessment

To measure and reduce carbon from materials used in a construction project. Scope can be 'upfront' only or over the building's whole life.

 

Guided by EN 15978 and the RICS Whole Life Carbon methodology. 

 

Supports net zero carbon and offsetting for a construction project. 

Whole Life Carbon Assessment

An embodied carbon assessment, plus inclusion of operational emissions (e.g. gas, electricity and water), over the building's life.

 

Guided by EN 15978 and RICS Whole Life Carbon methodology.

 

Required by the GLA, RICS, RIBA, LETI and UKGBC.

BREEAM Life Cycle Assessment / Mat 01

An embodied carbon assessment, but can include other environmental impact results in addition to carbon.

 

Guided by EN 15978 and BREEAM requirements.

 

A significant source of BREEAM credits.

 

Circular Economy and CES

Supporting clients and design teams in applying circularity strategies (e.g. reuse, less waste and maintenance, easier reuse in the future).

 

CE principles help reduce embodied carbon.

 

A Circular Economy Statement (CES) is required by the GLA.

Sustainability Strategy

- Supporting clients with building related ESG/Sustainability strategies.

 

- Development of project or organisational carbon and circularity requirements for buildings, including target setting and reporting.

- Awareness raising workshops, training and CPD sessions.

Standards and verification

- Verification of assessments by others. 

 

- Standards development and technical writing.

 

- 3rd Party verification of Mat 01 assessment can gain an exemplary BREEAM credit. The GLA requires whole life carbon assessments to be verified.
