Smashing Net Zero
The UK government has set a target to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, with a goal of fully decarbonising the UK power system by 2035. For developers, this means starting today: future projects will need to centre net zero design and technologies from the start. At EAL Consult, we have the experience and expertise to advise you on the energy efficiency, sustainability and compliance towards your net-zero project.

Meeting zero-carbon targets means changing the way you think about your project. You’ll need to consider energy-efficient designs and technologies at the design stage, choose low-carbon materials and techniques for your build, and aim to minimise the waste you produce.
While carbon offsets can provide part of the solution for reaching net zero, a much more effective approach is to avoid, minimise, reduce and rectify the use of carbon at every stage of your project: initial design, construction, and waste management.
We’re here to help, with advice and assessments to ensure your net-zero plan is as efficient and cost-effective as possible.

Embodied carbon refers to the Carbon Dioxide locked into the structure of your building, or used during construction. The aim for net-zero projects is to minimise this carbon footprint throughout the lifecycle of the building.
Trust EAL Consult to advise on the best ways to reduce your embodied carbon at every stage of the project.
- Extraction of raw materials
- Sourcing of building materials and elements
- Transportation
- Construction
- Demolition
- Materials that can be reused and recycled

Operational carbon refers to the Carbon Dioxide produced by the building once it is in use. Minimising operational carbon means rethinking the design stage. The EAL Consult team offers specialist advice on planning and delivering sustainable and energy-efficient solutions.
- Zero-carbon power generation
- Lighting
- Heating
- Glazing
- Insulation
- Temperature control
Planning for waste reduction begins at the design stage. EAL Consult offers guidance on waste reduction strategies and approaches for your net-zero project.
- Specifying the correct materials
- Ordering as little as possible
- Ensuring the building elements are handled appropriately during construction
- Planning for the lifecycle of your building
- Using materials that can easily be reused and recycled
