Measuring carbon emissions to support informed decision-making
A carbon footprint assessment is a strategic tool to understand where emissions originate and how they can be effectively reduced over time. Beyond reporting, it provides a clear and structured basis for defining decarbonization strategies aligned with operational realities and long-term asset management.
We support building owners, asset managers and operators in assessing and interpreting the carbon footprint of their buildings and portfolios, with a strong focus on operational performance and real-use conditions.
From measurement to insight
A relevant carbon footprint assessment goes beyond theoretical assumptions. Our approach is grounded in available data, operational practices and building usage, in order to produce results that are meaningful and actionable.
Our assessments typically address:
- energy-related emissions during building operation
- usage patterns and operational constraints
- key emission drivers and priority reduction levers
- opportunities for optimization and phased action
This analysis enables decision-makers to identify realistic pathways for carbon reduction, adapted to each asset’s lifecycle and context.
Carbon footprint in operation
Operational carbon emissions are largely influenced by how buildings are managed, operated, and maintained. We place strong emphasis on understanding real operational conditions in order to ensure that carbon reduction strategies remain achievable in practice.
By linking carbon footprint results with operational performance, we help translate assessments into concrete actions, continuous improvement strategies, and measurable outcomes over time.
Our role as technical and strategic advisor
We act as an independent technical and strategic advisor throughout the carbon footprint assessment process.
Our services include:
- carbon footprint assessments for buildings and portfolios
- analysis of operational carbon drivers
- interpretation of results for decision-making
- definition of priority actions and reduction pathways
- alignment with decarbonization and asset management strategies
Our role is to provide clarity, structure, and strategic insight, enabling carbon data to support long-term performance and value creation.
An approach adaptable to international contexts
Carbon footprint methodologies must be adaptable to different energy mixes, data availability, and operational contexts. Our approach is flexible and scalable, allowing assessments to be implemented across international portfolios and diverse geographic regions.
By combining methodological rigor with local adaptation, we deliver robust and comparable carbon assessments suited to international projects.
Why carry out a carbon footprint assessment?
- To understand and quantify operational carbon emissions.
- To identify priority levers for carbon reduction.
- To support informed and strategic decision-making.
- To structure decarbonization pathways over time.
- To strengthen asset resilience and long-term value.
