CRREM Risk Analysis for Building Assets

Whole Life Carbon Assessment (WLCA)

Whole Life Carbon Assessment (WLCA) refers to the total greenhouse gas emissions associated with a built asset throughout its entire lifecycle—from raw material extraction to demolition and beyond. At Arthian, our WLCA services align with international standards including ISO 14040/44, RICS guidance, and PAS 2080. We assess all lifecycle stages (A1–D), covering both embodied and operational carbon to help you identify carbon hotspots, evaluate design options, and set carbon budgets early in the process.

Our WLCA services include:

Baseline carbon studies & benchmarking
Carbon budgeting & Net Zero target setting
Design-phase strategic advice
Lifecycle scenario modelling & trade-off analysis
Integrated carbon + cost assessments (CapEx/OpEx)
Compliance reporting for planning, ESG, and certification.

By embedding WLCA into your project early, you benefit from cost-effective reductions and robust, data-driven decisions that align with both client goals and policy requirements.

PAS 2080: Carbon Management in Infrastructure and Built Environment

PAS 2080 is the globally recognised framework for managing whole-life carbon in buildings and infrastructure. It promotes a value chain approach—bringing together asset owners, designers, contractors, and suppliers to work collaboratively toward carbon reduction.

Our PAS 2080 consultancy empowers you to:

Develop organisation-wide or project-specific carbon management strategies
Conduct PAS 2080-aligned Whole Life Carbon Assessments
Engage stakeholders across the value chain through workshops and governance models
Set and track Science-Based Targets
Embed carbon KPIs into procurement and contracts
Prepare for PAS 2080 reporting, assurance, and certification.

Whether you’re working on public infrastructure, energy systems, or development projects, PAS 2080 ensures your carbon management is not just best practice—but best performance.

BREEAM Infrastructure Assessor & Consultancy

BREEAM Infrastructure (formerly CEEQUAL) is the leading sustainability certification for civil engineering and infrastructure projects. As licensed assessors, we guide you through the certification process from concept through construction.

Our services include:

Pre-assessment workshops to set targets and credit strategies
Evidence management and submission to BRE Global
Gap analysis and optimisation strategies to reach target levels
Design and contractor support for seamless delivery
Integration with planning requirements and ESG frameworks.

BREEAM Infrastructure is not only a mark of sustainability but also a pathway to cost savings, stakeholder assurance, and resilient infrastructure that stands the test of time.

CRREM Risk Analysis for Building Assets

The Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor (CRREM) is a framework designed to assess the transition risk of real estate assets under climate change mitigation scenarios. It helps asset owners evaluate whether their buildings are on a path to becoming “stranded”—i.e., non-compliant with future emissions thresholds.

With our CRREM services, you gain:

CRREM Pathway Modelling & Stranding Risk Analysis
Pathway modelling against global decarbonisation targets
Strategic advice on retrofits, energy upgrades, and capital planning
Net Zero Alignment Verification and Disclosure Reporting.

CRREM helps bridge the gap between carbon performance and financial risk, making it a crucial tool for real estate investors, developers, and fund managers navigating a decarbonising economy.
