Whole Life Carbon

A Whole Life Carbon Assessment (WLCA) is a crucial process that evaluates a building’s carbon emissions throughout its entire lifecycle. We provide Whole Life Carbon Assessments to help meet your requirements, including the Greater London Authority (GLA) who sets its own guidance around Whole Life Carbon. Policy SI2 of the London Plan 2021 requires that major planning applications include a Whole Life Carbon assessment. This must show a calculation of WLC emissions and demonstrate how these emissions have been reduced throughout the planning and design phases.

Circular Economy aims to reduce waste and keep materials in use in order to entend their life cycle. We provide Circular Economy services to support sustainable resource use and waste reduction, helping projects align with circular economy principles and meet relevant environmental goals. London Plan Policy SI7, requires a Circular Economy Statement to be produced in alignment with the energy strategy and the WLCA.

We conduct Embodied Carbon Studies to assess the carbon emissions associated with the materials and construction processes of a building, helping to minimise environmental impact throughout its lifecycle.

We offer BREEAM Life Cycle Assessments and Life Cycle Costing at concept and technical stages to evaluate the environmental impact and long-term financial viability of a building project, helping to guide sustainable design and decision-making from the early stages of development.

We offer BREEAM Third Party Verification, ensuring credibility and accuracy in achieving sustainability certifications.
