Life Cycle Assessment

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)​ & Whole Life Carbon Assessment

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)​ & Whole Life Carbon Assessment

Service Overview

Life Cycle Assessment evaluates environmental impacts across the entire lifecycle of buildings, infrastructure, or products from material extraction to end-of-life disposal. It is the methodology behind whole life carbon, capturing both the embodied carbon locked into materials and construction and the operational carbon generated across years of use.

Desapex conducts structured LCAs to quantify carbon emissions, resource consumption, and environmental impact indicators. Our assessments provide evidence-based insights to support sustainable material selection, design optimization, and compliance reporting giving you a clear, measurable view of a project's whole life carbon before decisions are locked in.

Our Digital-First Approach

Define Boundaries

Define lifecycle boundaries and clear assessment parameters including whether the study covers embodied carbon, operational carbon, or full whole life carbon.

Collect Data

Collect material and system-level environmental data, spanning embodied inputs and operational energy use
