Carbon has become a central issue in construction. With RE2020, building carbon footprints are regulated across their entire life cycle — from material manufacturing to demolition.

Carbon footprint and life cycle — leaf and environment

Carbon Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

Carbon LCA measures all greenhouse gas emissions from a building's full life cycle:

  • Ic construction — materials, technical equipment, site works
  • Ic energy — emissions linked to energy consumption over 50 years
  • End of life — deconstruction, material recovery and recycling

The E+C– label: positive energy, reduced carbon

The E+C– label rewards exemplary buildings across 4 increasing levels (E1–E4 for energy, C1–C2 for carbon). Benefits include anticipating RE2020 regulatory developments, enhanced project appeal to investors and demonstrating your CSR commitment.

Our LCA and E+C– support

  • RE2020 regulatory LCA calculations — Ic construction and Ic energy using Pleiades/ELODIE
  • Material choice optimisation — FDES and PEP écopasseport comparative analysis
  • E+C– label support — strategy, calculations, file preparation, certification body liaison
  • Simplified LCA at design stage — decision-support tool for early construction choices

💡 Bio-sourced materials (timber, straw, hemp) can reduce a building's construction carbon footprint by a factor of 2–4. We help identify the highest-performing solutions within your technical and budget constraints.

Applications and certifications

  • RE2020 regulatory LCA (Ic construction, Ic energy)
  • E+C– label levels E1–E4 and C1–C2
  • HQE, BREEAM, LEED certifications (carbon component)
  • CSR reporting and carbon assessments for institutional landlords and investors
  • Voluntary BBCA (Low-Carbon Building) approach
