Whole Life Carbon Assessments for Sustainable Construction
Reducing carbon emissions across a building's entire lifecycle is essential for achieving sustainability goals and meeting regulatory requirements. At Envision, our Whole Life Carbon Assessment services provide both Design Teams and Contractors with the insights you need to minimise the environmental impact of your projects and deliver them on time while fully aligned with net-zero commitments. From advice on which materials to select to guidance on operational efficiency, we can help you design and construct buildings with sustainability at their core.
What Is Whole Life Carbon?
The phrase 'whole life carbon' encompasses the total greenhouse gas emissions generated by a building throughout its lifecycle. Typically, these include:
- Embodied Carbon, which are emissions from material extraction, manufacturing, transport, and construction.
- Operational Carbon, which are emissions from energy use during the building's operation, such as heating, cooling, and lighting.
- End-of-Life Carbon, which are emissions from demolition, waste processing, and material disposal.
When we conduct a whole life carbon assessment, we will provide you with a comprehensive view of a building's environmental footprint, which will help all stakeholders in a project identify the areas where they can make meaningful carbon reductions.
