The purpose of the assessment was to assess the overall carbon emissions of the houses and compare these to recognised industry benchmarks.
The results of the assessment also allowed us to identify the biggest carbon contributors, the benefits of off-site construction and the impact of the material source location.
By understanding the carbon impact of these we were able to make suggestions to the client for changes to their outline specification which would reduce the whole life carbon of their homes. This will also assist them in setting carbon targets for future homes.
