Net Zero Carbon______

The majority of developed economies have committed to achieving Net Zero Carbon Emissions, with the UK setting a target of 2050 and Scotland aiming for 2045. As one of the largest contributors to carbon emissions, the built environment faces a significant challenge in decarbonising both new and existing buildings.

At Carbon Futures, we offer a comprehensive range of services to support the transition to Net Zero. Through advanced modelling and analysis of buildings, we help shape low-carbon design strategies and guide decision-making throughout the project lifecycle. Our services include Operational Energy Analysis utilising Dynamic Simulation Modelling (DSM) in line with CIBSE TM54, Embodied Carbon Life Cycle Assessments (LCA), Whole Life Carbon Life Cycle Assessments (LCA), and Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) modelling.

We also provide expertise in aligning projects with a variety of Net Zero frameworks and standards, including the Scottish Government’s Net Zero Public Sector Building Standard, the UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard, BREEAM, LETI, AECB, and UKGBC
