Building ACV · Closed project
Calculate the real carbon footprint of the building and justify your certification
- Methodology EN 15978 / ISO 14040
- Real measurements of the project
- Valid for certification
[01] We collect the executive project and the measurements
[02] We inventoried all the materials in the building
[03] We calculate the impact throughout the life cycle
[04] We deliver the report ready for certification
Entire building
from foundations to finishes and installations
The entire life cycle
from the manufacture of materials to the end of life
Technical documentation
Prepared for the certifying body
Specialized team
in decarbonization and construction
Certifications
[FROM THE PROJECT CLOSED TO THE JUSTIFICATORY REPORT]
We prepare the calculation and documentation according to the requirements of each scheme
[01]
Documentary compilation
We gather the executive project, measurements and constructive report of the building already defined.
[02]
Inventory of materials
We quantify all materials and systems: structure, envelope, installations and finishes.
[03]
Complete ACV calculation
We apply the life cycle methodology from the manufacture of materials to the end of life.
[03]
Report to certify
We deliver the technical documentation in the format required by the chosen certification system.
Certifications
[THE REPORT ADAPTS TO YOUR CERTIFICATION SYSTEM]
We prepare the calculation and documentation according to the requirements of each scheme
LEED
Data support for credits of materials and resources that assess life cycle analysis.
BREEAM
Calculation of the impact to justify the environmental assessment criteria of the material and the building.
GREEN
Analysis aligned with the life cycle indicators required by the GBCe evaluation system.
Why now
[A RIGOROUS REPORT, A GENERIC ESTIMATE]
With the project closed, we calculate the real impact of the building based on definitive measurements, not approximations. This is the level of detail required by the certifying bodies.
- Calculation on real measurements, not generic estimates
- Covers foundations, structure, envelope, installations and finishes
- Documentation directly usable by the certifying body
- Methodology aligned with LEED, BREEAM and VERDE
- Accompaniment throughout the certification process
Two modalities
[CLOSED PROJECT OR DESIGN PHASE]
We carry out the ACV of buildings at the time that fits your project.
Design phase
Comparative study in the design phase
You compare different structural, façade or finish solutions while you still have a choice, before closing the project.
You are here
Detailed calculation on closed project
We analyze the entire building already defined to obtain the final result and justify LEED, BREEAM or VERDE certifications.

Frequently asked questions
[BEFORE REQUESTING THE ACV]
[01]
Do I need the executive project closed to make this ACV?
Do I need the executive project closed to make this ACV?
Yes, this modality works on real measurements of the final project. If you are still deciding between alternatives, you are more interested in comparative study in the design phase.
[02]
Is the report valid for any certification?
Is the report valid for any certification?
We adapt the calculation and format of the report to the system you need: LEED, BREEAM or VERDE, following the documentary requirements of each scheme.
[03]
What documentation do we need to provide?
What documentation do we need to provide?
Executive project, measurements and constructive report. If information is missing from any material or system, we tell you exactly what needs to be completed.
[04]
How long does the full calculation take?
How long does the full calculation take?
It depends on the size of the building and the availability of documentation. We give you a specific deadline once the project has been reviewed.
Tell us about the building and the certification you are looking for, and we will propose the scope and deadline.
