Optimisation of the carbon footprint of building materials

Our low-carbon construction specialists act as your trusted partner throughout your new or renovation project.

Our experts in sustainable development and circular economy help you set carbon footprint targets for your project. We identify the building materials that contribute most to emissions and provide recommendations to reduce material-related carbon output.

We also carry out a carbon footprint assessment for your project, detailing concrete measures to minimise emissions throughout the project lifecycle.

Improving material efficiency in your project

We enhance your project's material efficiency by assessing long-term durability and providing independent recommendations for low-carbon materials. Greater efficiency and durability can also translate into cost savings, through reduced material needs during construction and less replacement over the building’s lifecycle.

Circular economy solutions also support the use of low-carbon, cost-effective materials.

Minimising emissions through careful project planning

The main sources of emissions over a building’s lifecycle are construction materials and energy use. We support you not only in optimising material choices, but also in energy planning for new buildings, especially when aiming for an environmental certification that verifies sustainability performance.

We also provide expert support in early-stage project planning. Low-carbon choices made at the start of a project have the greatest impact and are more cost-effective than changes made later. Setting emissions targets for materials is also beneficial during the design phase.
