Our methodology

Life cycle assessments in accordance with established standards

Our LCA experts draw on a wealth of experience in both buildings and products to support clients and project teams in reducing the carbon footprint of buildings and portfolios. Our experts prepare holistic life cycle assessments (LCA) for buildings and districts. In doing so, we analyse the CO₂ footprint and other environmental effects over the entire life cycle — from raw material extraction to construction and use to dismantling.

Our methodology is based on international standards. Aligned with international Whole Life Carbon Assessment standards such as ISO 14040/14044, EN15978 and/or RICS, which in turn align with frameworks such as the UK Net Zero Carbon Building Standard, our expertise stands out for it depth from raw material to product, building and district.

Step-by-step guide to reducing your project's carbon footprint

Start now

Concept phase

We provide guidance on suitable targets for operational and embodied carbon. Drawing on experience and detailed modeling of over 300 buildings in the EPEA database, we can calculate the CO2 footprint of your design and various planning options, even in early project phases.

Design phase

We lay out the impacts of design options and actively provide recommendations on how to optimize.

Product selection

There are also significant opportunities for influence during and after the call for tenders. The selection of CO₂-optimized products has a significant impact. Using conpli, our in-house circular construction management platform, we compare tender returns and product selections against  project targets enabling easy and simple optimization.

Preparation of evidence

Do you need proof of compliance with the requirements of the London Plan, BREEAM, DGNB or other building certifications? We provide you with all necessary documentation from a single source.
