Our LCA services We help our clients design, build, operate and renew with a clear understanding of whole life environmental impacts.

Up to 50% of the whole life carbon impact of a new building is attributable to MEP systems - yet most LCA analysts rely on ballpark estimates for these elements that vary wildly from reality.

To address this problem Elementa Consulting has committed to a five year research plan to advance and share knowledge in embodied carbon in MEP design.

Working with ’s LCA team gives our clients access to the unique skills and knowledge developed through this investment.

Our services include:

Building level Life Cycle Assessment

Life Cycle Assessment Options Appraisals

We undertake Life Cycle Assessments for whole buildings that address substructure, superstructure, façade, services and internal finishes.

We offer options appraisals, to understand the impact of various design choices. These studies focus on the parts of the building affected by the design choice to understand which option has the least impact.

Our assessment scope typically includes A1-A5, B1B7 and C1-C4 as defined by EN 15804.

• Evidence base for LEED, BREEAM and Green Star certification systems.

• A detailed bespoke building level life cycle assessment.

What is Life Cycle Assessment?

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an iterative methodology to assess environmental impacts of a system across its whole life Within an LCA, the environmental impacts of the system are calculated for each of the following life cycle stages: • Production Stage • Construction Stage • In Use Stage • End of life Stage • Benefits and loads beyond system boundary Each stage is defined by a sequence of modules, standardised by BS EN15804.

• Cradle to Cradle includes all modules within a building life cycle assessment • Cradle to Grave includes all modules except D (Recovery) • Cradle to Site only includes modules linked to Product + Construction Stages • Cradle to Gate only includes modules from the Product Stage The LCA scope can vary depending on the study, from a full building to only a part of the building, a system, product, component or material.

Why LCA matters

Elementa’s LCA team evaluate the following environmental impact indicators throughout the building life cycle.

Global Warming Potential (GWP) : evaluation of the impact on climate change, meaning greenhouse gas emissions responsible for Infra Radiations trapping heat into the atmosphere, resulting in global warming. This is calculated in kgCO2 equivalent, which is why it is typically called carbon emissions. A design with low GWP will help fight climate change, and help cool down the planet which ensures in the long run better health and more sustainable cities and communities.

Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP): evaluation of the impact on the stratospheric ozone layer, which protects us from UV. This calculates the potential of substance to destroy ozone gas (O3) compared to chlorofluorocarbon-11, therefore the unit is kgCFC-11-Eq. A design with low ODP will help ensure better health.

Acidification Potential (AcP): evaluation of the impact on acidification of soils and water, meaning a change in the pH value due to substances releasing H+ions. This is calculated in kgSO2-Eq or kgSO2-Eq/kg. A design with low AP will protect the soil and water from its environment and above.

Eutrophication Potential (EP): evaluation of the impact on eutrophication, meaning excessive enrichment of nutrients and minerals of water or soils, resulting in excessive growth of algae and thus oxygen depletion. This is calculated either in kgPO4equivalent or and kgNequivalent/kg. A design with low EP will protect the soil and water from its environment and above.

Abiotic depletion Potential (AdP): evaluation of the impact on abiotic depletion, meaning reduction of global amount of non-renewable and non-living raw materials such as minerals, clay, fossil fuels. This is usually calculated in MJ. A design with low AdP will protect our earth and life on land.

Net Use of fresh water: evaluation of net water use in m3 throughout the building life cycle.

Use of renewable primary energy: Prediction and verification of how much renewable primary energy is generated and consumed throughout the life cycle of the building.

Biogenic Carbon Storage: Biogenic carbon contained within biomass such as timber with the building. When it is sustainably sourced, building with natural elements can effectively contain and store carbon over its lifetime, which has benefits in terms of global warming potential

Whole life Carbon To fight global warming, the building industry needs to tackle both operational and embodied carbon emissions The purpose of using ‘Whole Life Carbon Thinking’ is to move towards a building or a product that generates the lowest carbon emissions over its whole life sometimes referred to as ‘cradle-to-grave’ or ‘cradle-to-cradle” if it includes module D. Embodied Carbon

Operational Carbon

Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) associated with:

Greenhouse gas emissions associated with the energy and water use operation of the building (Modules B6 and B7). It usually includes emissions associated with heating, hot water, cooling, ventilation and lighting systems as well as the energy used in cooking, other water usage such as supply and treatment and energy used by equipment and lifts.

• Product & construction stage (Module A): the extraction and processing of materials, the energy and water consumption used by the factory in constructing the product and then constructing the building and any transportation relating to the above.

• In-use stage (Module B): the use, maintenance, repair, replacement of building elements and refurbishment as well as emissions associated with refrigerant leakage • End-of-life stage (Module C): deconstruction/ disassembly, waste processing and disposal of any parts of product or building and any transportation relating to the above.

Circular Carbon Greenhouse gas emissions associated with reuse recovery or recycling of building materials (Module D). As it is supplementary information beyond the asset life cycle, it is typically reported separately - if sufficient information is available.

Refrigerant Best Practice Guide By sharing our knowledge of current best practices we can accelerate the transformation of the built environment to meet our climate change obligations Integral’s best practice guide is intended to help those responsible for the design, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of building services to make well-informed decisions in the design of refrigerant based systems. We particularly encourage its use during initial design stages, whenever these systems are being considered.

The guide reviews currently available refrigerants for common system types, with advice on how to reduce refrigerant charge, leakage, and enhance recovery at end of life. It should be considered ‘live’ and will be updated periodically to reflect latest industry data.

It has been prepared by an international team of Elementa’s mechanical and sustainability engineers led by Louise Hamot, Integral’s Global Lead for Life Cycle Research.

Refrigerant use continues to grow. Climate change is already increasing the demand for cooling in buildings around the world. At the same time, renewable and low carbon energy sources are displacing fossil fuels from our electricity grids making combustion-free heating and cooling systems that depend on refrigerants ever more attractive.

Our ongoing research into whole life carbon emissions has highlighted the serious risk of significant climate change impacts of refrigerant use - from leakage and poor end of life recovery. These impacts could be almost entirely avoided if passive design measures were fully exploited to eliminate or at least reduce demand, and the best performing refrigerant were then specified and properly managed.

Engineers can only specify refrigerants that are commercially available, permitted, safe and technically appropriate for the chosen application.

Nonetheless they share a collective responsibility to encourage manufacturers to offer improved equipment with ever lower life cycle impacts.

Morden Regeneration Whole life carbon assessment of 15 heating system options for a 2000-unit residential scheme in Morden, London Our analysis considered both operational and embodied carbon related to the system. The quantities of MEP products were established i.e. the length of pipework needed and the size of heat pumps. A scenario was tested with low and high refrigerant leakage. This allows a direct comparison between different options, communal, district and individual heating system options.

Systems analysed included; • District heating connections • Communal heating options including 4th and 5th generation district heating (ambient loops) • Individual heating options including exhaust air heat pumps, standard water to water heat pumps, water to air heat pumps, direct electric heating and hot water store with integrated heat pump.

Refrigerant leakage makes up a large proportion of embodied carbon of heat pumps, under the high leakage scenario.

Under the low refrigerant leakage scenario, there is a similarity in the whole life carbon of all five individual options, the direct electric option has the lowest embodied carbon as there is no communal or internal heating pipework, however it has the highest operational carbon of these individual heating options.

Carbon emissions analysis was combined with cost analysis, and space requirements, enabling for an easy comparison between the system options.

Depending on the weighting of client priorities different systems emerge as preferred options.

The passive ambient loop had the lowest EUI, and the lowest operational and whole life emissions, and has cost neutral lifetime costs in relative to the comparator.

The air to air heat pump has very low capital and lifetime costs, with low running costs and a low sensitivity to an increase in running cost with poor fabric.

Key performance indicators were developed to be used for the project.

MEP Embodied Carbon Assessment Integral’s LCA team are digging deep to understand the embodied carbon emissions of the systems our engineers design and the products they specify Operational carbon can be greatly reduced by MEP designs that prioritise demand reduction and system efficiencies. However, the whole life carbon impacts of MEP systems go beyond energy demand.

MEP equipment represents both a significant embodied carbon impact when a building is first constructed and repeated carbon impacts through a building lifetime due to high replacement rates, followed by the challenge of disposal.

Integral’s engineers understand the embodied carbon emissions of the systems they design and the products they specify, so that informed choices can be made using ‘whole life carbon’ thinking.

Based on limited studies that have been carried out so far, MEP could account for 2%-27% of embodied carbon of new build schemes (excluding refrigerant leakage).

In retrofit schemes, the proportion of embodied carbon related to building services can be considerably higher, with one study showing MEP could account for 75% of the embodied carbon.

Office TI & Retrofit, Global 4 studies on the embodied carbon breakdown of building services of office retrofit and Tenant Improvement across different regions.

Quantities of MEP services were extracted from a Revit model and analysed low, medium and high scenarios using OneClick LCA. The study revealed the largest sources of embodied carbon as refrigerant leakage, ventilation ducts, drainage pipes and LED lighting.

Below: In A HIGH Impact Scenario within a passive house type building, a ASHP heat pump and a VRF system can be worst in terms of whole life carbon emissions than a gas boiler or a CHP system if refrigerant is not properly managed. It is however much better if refrigerant leakage is kept low and recovery at end of life properly ensured.

LCA Green Building Credits Life cycle Assessments to ensure environmental footprint reduction can help in the pursuit of certifications. With our current tools, our team provide calculations for different certifications across the world.

LEED CERTIFICATION LEED v4 BD+C, MR credit: Building Life-Cycle Impact Reduction, option 4 Whole building life-cycle assessment.

The idea of the credit is to show the reduction of building material life cycle impacts compared to a baseline in at least 3 different impact categories of 10% without increasing the emissions in 3 other categories more than 5%. If the design team can show improvement in all of the 6 categories they will get an additional exemplary credit. The baseline building must have the same size, function, orientation, and energy performance but other elements may be changed.

BREEAM CERTIFICATION BREEAM Mat 01 Life cycle impacts credit and other Material credits.

Mat 01 LCA credit requires a high quality whole building LCA analysis. In other words, the better the estimated quality of the analysis the more credits youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to achieve. The quality and credit potential are defined by two factors: The quality of the LCA tool and the assessment scope which means the scope of different building elements included to calculation. The quality of the LCA tool defines 70% of the credit potential and the element scope remaining 30%.

Depending on the scheme , LCA and LCC related credits can now provide you up to 20 credits.

LIVING BUILDING CHALLENGE New and Existing buildings must demonstrate a 20% reduction in the embodied carbon of primary materials compared to an equivalent baseline. Existing buildings may count in-situ materials against the required 20%.

All projects must select interior materials with lower than industry baseline embodied carbon emissions for product categories for which data is readily available.

NET ZERO CARBON CERTIFICATION New and Existing buildings must demonstrate a 10% reduction in the embodied carbon of primary materials compared to an equivalent baseline. Existing buildings may count in-situ materials against the required 10%.

The embodied carbon associated with the construction and materials installed in the project must not exceed 500kg CO2e/m2.
