FAQs
Discover the key aspects of building life cycle assessments and sustainability certifications. Including the processes involved, differences between types of carbon emissions, and the benefits of obtaining sustainability certification for your building.
What is a building life cycle assessment?
What is the difference between embodied carbon and operational carbon?
Embodied carbon is associated with a building’s construction materials, while operational carbon relates to its ongoing energy use during its lifespan.
What are the requirements to meet the certification?
Planet Mark built environment certifications require the measurement and reduction of a building’s entire life carbon emissions. A Life Cycle Assessment is conducted by a Planet Mark-approved consultant to quantify this. We also require developments to meet specific carbon limits per square meter, which vary based on the type of buildings under development.
What are the benefits of my building holding a sustainability certification?
Sustainability certification enhances your building’s market value, attracts environmentally conscious tenants, showcases your commitment to responsible practices, and can also contribute to reducing costs through energy-efficient and sustainable operational measures.
Can you help with net zero commitments?
Yes, we can build a credible net zero pathway for your portfolio that aligns with your sustainability vision. Our approach aligns with the UK Green Building Council’s framework for net zero carbon buildings by measuring and reducing whole-life carbon emissions, at every stage from design and development to refurbishment and operational stage.
