Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for BREEAM

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a key component of the BREEAM sustainability assessment process, enabling project teams to evaluate and reduce the environmental impacts of buildings throughout their lifecycle. By analysing factors such as material extraction, manufacturing, transportation, construction, operation, maintenance, and end-of-life disposal, an LCA provides a comprehensive understanding of a building's environmental performance.

Undertaking an LCA for BREEAM helps identify opportunities to reduce embodied carbon, minimise resource consumption, and improve overall sustainability outcomes. The assessment supports the achievement of BREEAM credits within the Materials category and demonstrates a commitment to responsible design and construction practices.

Our LCA services provide clear, accurate analysis and reporting in line with BREEAM requirements, helping clients maximise available credits, meet sustainability targets, and deliver high-performing, environmentally responsible developments.
