Carbon Assessment

Carbon consultancy for sustainable development.

We use in-house whole life carbon assessment tools to evaluate the carbon impact of building designs and material choices, offering clear recommendations to help projects align with or exceed benchmarks set by RIBA, RICS, LETI, and the UK Net Zero Carbon Building Standard. We support design teams in assessing design options and can represent building owners to calculate as-built carbon figures for ESG reporting and environmental certification. 

We undertake LCAs at all project stages and post-occupancy. 

Benefits 

  • Carbon Reduction - lower whole life carbon through smart design and material choices. 

  • Informed Decision-Making - iterate the design in the knowledge of carbon impacts. 

  • Exceed Standards - align with and go beyond RIBA, RICS, LETI, and UKNZBS targets. 

  • Material Efficiency - minimise embodied carbon and plan for end-of-life reuse. 

  • ESG and Certification - deliver robust data for reporting and environmental accreditation. 

  • Evidence Impact - validate as-built carbon figures and showcase performance. 

Outputs

  • Stage by Stage comparative carbon impact appraisals. 

  • Post-Occupancy Whole Life Carbon Assessments. 

  • Lower carbon material specifications.
