Buildings account for approximately 20% of UK carbon emissions, and efforts are growing to better measure and manage the emissions associated with the full lifecycle of a building. At DTEC Consulting, we provide comprehensive Life Cycle Carbon Analysis (LCA) support for your planning applications and building compliance.
Why Is Life Cycle Carbon Analysis So Important?
Construction projects and real estate developments face significant challenges, such as:
-
Understanding and quantifying the carbon impact of materials, operations, and lifetime use.
-
Navigating complex regulations and planning requirements around sustainability.
-
Addressing increasing pressure from investors, clients, and regulators to demonstrate green credentials.
-
Balancing sustainability goals with cost-effectiveness in project planning and execution.
What Are the Risks of Not Conducting LCA?
Failing to incorporate carbon analysis into your construction or real estate projects can result in:
-
Planning delays or rejections due to insufficient sustainability evidence.
-
Non-compliance with building regulations and evolving climate-related standards.
-
Missed opportunities to identify cost-effective strategies for reducing carbon emissions.
-
Negative reputational impact as stakeholders demand greater accountability.
What Do Businesses in Construction and Real Estate Want?
Industry leaders are looking to:
-
Accurately assess the carbon footprint of their projects, from materials to end-of-life.
-
Streamline planning applications with robust, evidence-backed sustainability data.
-
Ensure compliance with building regulations and certifications.
-
Align with client expectations for greener, more responsible developments.
