Question 1

What is BREEAM LCA (Mat 01)?

Accepted Answer

BREEAM Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) evaluates the environmental impact of building materials and construction throughout a project's lifecycle. It sits within the wider BREEAM assessment process under the Mat 01 credit, and plays a key role in demonstrating reduced embodied environmental impact.

Question 2

Is BREEAM LCA the same as full BREEAM certification?

Accepted Answer

No. Full BREEAM certification covers many credits across a project. BREEAM LCA is one specific element within that process, focused on the environmental impact of materials under Mat 01. Net Zero Consulting specialises in this LCA element specifically, not full BREEAM certification management.

Question 3

Which BREEAM scheme types do you cover?

Accepted Answer

We work across a defined range of BREEAM scheme types rather than all of them. Get in touch with your project details and we can confirm quickly whether your scheme is one we support.

Question 4

When should BREEAM LCA support begin on a project?

Accepted Answer

Ideally at concept or developed design stage, when design and material changes still have the greatest opportunity to improve environmental performance. Involvement can begin later, but earlier input generally gives more scope to influence outcomes.
