Life Cycle Assessment premium materials

TimbA Systems provides Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) services using One Click LCA — quantifying the embodied carbon of your timber building and producing documentation for planning, BREEAM, LEED and building regulations.

Life Cycle Assessment

Prove your building's carbon credentials.

Embodied carbon is increasingly scrutinised by planners, funders and building control — and mass timber is one of the most powerful tools available to reduce it. TimbA Systems uses One Click LCA, the industry-standard platform, to quantify the embodied carbon of your building's structure and envelope, benchmark it against industry averages, and produce documentation for planning submissions, BREEAM and LEED certification, and Part Z compliance.

Our LCA service

Embodied carbon calculation

Full cradle-to-practical-completion embodied carbon assessment to EN 15978. Covers structure, envelope, finishes and MEP — with timber carbon sequestration properly accounted for.

BREEAM & LEED support

Documentation and calculations specifically formatted for BREEAM Mat 01 credits and LEED MRc4. We've supported projects across multiple BREEAM ratings including Excellent and Outstanding.

Planning & Part Z reports

Carbon reporting documents suitable for planning authority submission and Part Z whole-life carbon compliance. Includes benchmarking against GLA, LETI and RIBA 2030 targets.
Who needs an LCA

Required on an increasing number of UK projects

LCA is now required or expected on most significant UK development projects — driven by planning policy, building regulations and investor ESG requirements.

Meeting planning authority carbon reporting requirements and achieving BREEAM or LEED credits on commercial and residential projects.

Developers

Demonstrating ESG credentials to investors, funders and planning authorities — and quantifying the carbon benefit of choosing mass timber over concrete.

Structural engineers

Producing embodied carbon calculations alongside structural design — quantifying the benefit of timber vs steel or concrete alternatives.
