Embodied carbon

Low Carbon
20.51
kg CO₂-eq./m²

Total embodied carbon (renovation): ~20.51 tCO₂e

Intensity: ~114 kgCO₂e/m² (using the 180 m² post-works GIA)

Pre-retrofit: 30.09 kgCO₂e/m²·yr

Post: 13.63 kgCO₂e/m²·yr

Annual saving: ≈ 2.96 tCO₂e/yr

Embodied payback time: ~6.9 years

The renovation’s embodied carbon is “paid back” by operational savings in under 7 years.

Operational Emissions / Energy

Low Carbon

Annual CO2 emissions (pre renovation): 30.09 kgCO₂e/m²

Annual CO2 emissions (post retrofit): 13.63 kgCO₂e/m²

Actual CO2 emissions (post retrofit): 0.0 kgCO₂e/m² – the property now only uses electricity via Good Energy and that is guaranteed zero emission.
