Omneco provides it’s Clients with a quantifiable analysis of the environmental impacts of a product, building or infrastructure project which take into account the whole life cycle of the materials and processes used. In this way, regulatory compliance is easier to achieve, and projects and products
have more compelling environmental credibility.

What we do.

Building Sustainability Services.

RICS WLCA

RICS WLCA (Whole Life Carbon Assessment) is a methodology developed by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors for quantifying and reducing the carbon footprint of buildings throughout their entire lifecycle.

Greater London Authority

The Greater London Authority (GLA) requirements for Whole Life Carbon Assessments (WLCA) mandate comprehensive carbon emission evaluations for new developments in London, focusing on reducing the city's carbon footprint throughout the building lifecycle.

BREEAM UK

BREEAM UK is a leading environmental assessment method for buildings in the United Kingdom, evaluating and improving their sustainability and environmental performance.

Building Circularity

Building Circularity refers to the design, construction, and operation of buildings in a manner that prioritises the reuse and recycling of materials and resources, thereby reducing waste and extending the lifecycle of building components.

LCC

Life Cycle Costing (LCC) for buildings evaluates all costs associated with the construction, operation, maintenance, and eventual disposal of a building, providing a comprehensive financial analysis for sustainable and cost-effective property management.

Level(s) EU Taxonomy

Level(s) EU Taxonomy is a European Union framework providing standardised sustainability metrics and guidelines to assess and improve the environmental performance of buildings, aligning real estate practices with the EU's broader environmental and climate objectives.

BREEAM International

BREEAM International is a widely recognized sustainability assessment method for masterplanning projects, infrastructure, and buildings, evaluating their environmental, social, and economic sustainability performance on a global scale.

RICS WLCA V2

RICS Whole Life Carbon Assessment (WLCA) Version 2, released in November 2023, is an updated methodology by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, set to be in effect from July 1st, 2024, designed to evaluate and reduce the carbon footprint of buildings throughout their entire lifecycle, superseding the initial version.

Biodiversity Net Gain

Biodiversity Net Gain is an approach in environmental conservation where development projects aim to leave biodiversity in a better state than before, ensuring a positive impact on the natural environment.

EN 15978

EN 15978 is a European standard providing the methodology for assessing the environmental performance of buildings, focusing on the life cycle assessment (LCA) from construction to demolition.

LEED International

LEED International LCA's are assessments incorporated within the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) green building certification system, evaluating the environmental impact of buildings on a global scale through a comprehensive life cycle analysis.

Product Sustainability Services.

EPD

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) provide transparent, standardised information about the environmental impact of products, following international standards such as ISO 14025, EN 15804, and ISO 21930. These documents are key in evaluating a product's lifecycle environmental footprint, including resource use, emissions, and potential ecological impacts, offering critical insights for sustainable decision-making in various industries.

Product Carbon

A Product Carbon Footprint Analysis quantifies the total greenhouse gas emissions associated with a product's lifecycle, adhering to standards like PAS 2050 and ISO 14067. This comprehensive assessment encompasses raw material extraction, production, distribution, use, and disposal, providing essential data for understanding and reducing a product’s environmental impact, and guiding sustainable product development and consumer choices.

CBAM

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is an EU initiative designed to mitigate carbon leakage by imposing a carbon price on imports of certain goods from outside the EU. It aligns with the EU's broader climate policies and carbon pricing standards, aiming to level the playing field for EU producers adhering to strict carbon regulations and encouraging global partners to strengthen their climate policies.

Circular Economy

Product circular economy approaches emphasise sustainable product life cycles, focusing on design for durability, reuse, repair, and recycling, aligning with principles outlined in standards such as BS 8001. This approach reduces waste, conserves resources, and minimises environmental impact, encouraging a shift from traditional linear 'take-make-dispose' models to circular systems that retain value and promote resource efficiency.

LCC

Life Cycle Costing (LCC) on products involves analysing the total cost incurred throughout a product's life, from design and production to use and disposal. This approach, guided by standards such as ISO 15686-5, aids in identifying cost-saving opportunities, optimising resource efficiency, and enhancing product sustainability, thereby providing a comprehensive financial perspective for long-term economic and environmental decision-making.

Infra Sustainability Services.

PAS 2080

PAS 2080's approach to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) focuses on evaluating and minimising the carbon footprint across the entire lifecycle of infrastructure projects. This includes assessing direct and indirect emissions from initial construction through to operation and end-of-life stages. By integrating LCA, PAS 2080 helps in identifying key areas for carbon reduction, promoting sustainable construction practices, and supporting the broader aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with global climate objectives.

CEEQUAL

Within CEEQUAL's framework for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), developed by the Building Research Establishment (BRE), a comprehensive evaluation of the environmental impact of infrastructure and civil engineering projects is conducted. This assessment covers the full project lifecycle, scrutinising aspects such as resource consumption, energy use, waste generation, and ecological impact. CEEQUAL's LCA, underpinned by BRE's expertise, ensures a deep understanding of environmental footprints, steering projects towards sustainable construction and decision-making that aligns with overarching environmental sustainability targets.

Infrastructure LCC

Life Cycle Costing (LCC) for infrastructure projects, guided by standards such as ISO 15686-5 and EN 16627, is a comprehensive process that evaluates the total costs throughout the infrastructure's lifespan. This analysis includes initial construction, ongoing maintenance, operation, and eventual decommissioning or replacement. Incorporating these standards ensures a systematic approach, enabling decision-makers to identify cost-effective, sustainable solutions that balance long-term economic efficiency with environmental considerations in infrastructure development.
