Our Net Zero Consultancy Services
Embodied Carbon Assessment
Understanding your building’s total carbon impact requires looking beyond operational energy use. Our embodied carbon assessment provides a comprehensive analysis of your building’s carbon footprint throughout its entire lifecycle – from material extraction and manufacturing to construction, maintenance and end-of-life considerations.
By quantifying embodied carbon, we help you identify the most significant opportunities for reduction, whether through material selection, construction techniques or design optimisation. This holistic approach ensures that your net zero strategy addresses all carbon sources, not just the most visible ones.
Decarbonisation Strategy Development
The journey to net zero requires a clear roadmap. Our decarbonisation strategy service begins with thoroughly assessing your current carbon profile, identifying emission hotspots and prioritising intervention areas. We then develop a bespoke net zero consultation roadmap that plots your path to carbon neutrality with realistic, achievable milestones.
Our strategies combine immediate ‘quick wins’ with long-term, transformational changes, ensuring continuous progress toward your goals while maximising return on investment. Throughout implementation, we remain your trusted adviser, adapting the strategy to accommodate changing circumstances or technologies.
BREEAM Consultancy
As leading net zero carbon consultants, we recognise the value of independent verification of sustainability credentials. Our BREEAM consultancy services guide you through the certification process, from initial assessment to final certification.
Our experts understand the nuances of BREEAM criteria and can help you identify the most cost-effective routes to achieving your desired rating. Whether you’re targeting Outstanding, Excellent or Good, we’ll help you navigate the requirements while ensuring the certification process supports rather than detracts from your broader sustainability goals.
Dynamic Simulation Modelling
Making informed decisions about building performance requires sophisticated analysis. Our dynamic simulation modelling service uses advanced computational techniques to predict your building’s energy performance under various conditions and scenarios.
This powerful tool allows you to test different design options, operational strategies or retrofit measures before committing resources, ensuring that your investments deliver the expected carbon reductions and operational benefits.
Sustainable Materials Selection
The materials used in your building profoundly impact its carbon footprint. Our sustainable materials consultancy helps you navigate the increasingly complex landscape of low-carbon alternatives, identifying options that meet your performance, aesthetic and budget requirements while minimising environmental impact.
We consider factors beyond carbon, including resource depletion, water usage and potential toxicity, to ensure that your material choices contribute to a sustainable built environment.
Supporting Businesses in Enabling Net Zero
As your carbon reduction consultants, we understand that every organisation has unique challenges and opportunities on the path to net zero. That’s why we tailor our approach to your specific circumstances, whether you’re a:
- Public sector organisation facing ambitious government carbon reduction targets
- Housing association balancing tenant needs with sustainability requirements
- Retail business looking to reduce operational costs while enhancing green credentials
- Commercial property owner navigating increasingly stringent minimum energy efficiency standards
Our sustainability experts help you formulate a corporate strategy that embeds net zero across your organisation and into your everyday thinking.
