Embodied Carbon Reporting

(RICS WLCA)

Support Your Low-Carbon Projects with Rigorous Carbon Accounting

At Lynx Energy and Carbon Assessors, we deliver detailed Embodied Carbon Assessments aligned with the RICS Whole Life Carbon Assessment (WLCA) 2nd Edition (2023). These reports help developers, architects, QS teams, funds, investors, public sector clients, and design & build contractors track and reduce emissions embedded in materials, construction processes, and product choices across a project’s lifecycle.

We use One Click LCA, the industry-leading lifecycle assessment platform with access to thousands of environmental product declarations, to ensure your carbon reporting is accurate, comparable, and investor-ready.

Whether you’re optimising capital allocation decisions, preparing for mandatory disclosure, or targeting green finance rates, our embodied carbon reports deliver strategic clarity for your portfolio from design to post-completion.

What is Embodied Carbon Reporting?

Our Embodied Carbon Reporting service is a RICS WLCA-compliant assessment of carbon emissions embedded in materials, construction processes, and product choices across a project’s lifecycle. It includes:

    • WLCA-Compliant Carbon Reports – A1–A5, B1–B7, C1–C4, D modules
    • Design Stage Assessment (RIBA 2–3) for early intervention and optimisation
    • As-Built Reporting (RIBA 5–6) for verification and compliance
    • Material Hotspot Analysis by building element with optimisation recommendations
    • Benchmark Compliance to LETI, GLA, and RIBA 2030 standards
    • Multi-Framework Formatting ready for BREEAM, SBTi, and TCFD disclosures

Why Embodied Carbon Reporting Matters

Embodied Carbon Reporting is essential for portfolio risk management, regulatory compliance, and strategic decision-making in an evolving carbon-conscious market as:

 

    • Embodied carbon often makes up over 50% of total emissions in new buildings
    • Local Authorities and GLA require carbon reporting for major developments
    • Funds and REITs must quantify embodied carbon to meet SBTi and CRREM expectations
    • Optimising material choices can lead to lower costs and lower carbon
    • Properties with verified carbon data command a 5-8% premium
    • Retrofit or rebuild choices require whole-life carbon analysis for optimal ROI

Our Approach to Embodied Carbon Reporting

Our reporting provides investment-grade data for institutional investors, value engineering opportunities to optimise costs and carbon, market advantage through verified performance, and strategic decision support for portfolio management.

 

    • Fast turnaround available for planning-driven projects and time-sensitive applications
