Verte worked with the project architect, building services engineer and developer to review the proposed design and identify areas to reduce the embodied and operational carbon. This included a review of building fabric materials, building services components and the identification of appropriate renewable energy technologies. This review included CRREM analysis to identify when the building was likely to become stranded i.e. when the carbon reduction pathway of the building was predicted to be higher than the required carbon reduction trajectory to ensure the building was on track to achieve the Paris Proof Target of 1.5oC. Verte also completed a comprehensive review of the embodied carbon emissions using our software OneClick LCA to have an understanding of material related carbon emissions. The analysis is used to identify the highest contributing carbon emitters across the building. The embodied carbon analysis identified that some building elements can be redesigned to emit less carbon emissions across the building’s lifecycle. Verte presented the initial findings to the key stakeholders and agreed upon the next steps for inclusion in the project as the design progresses through to construction stage.
