Whole Life Carbon Assessor

As the built environment moves towards decarbonisation, understanding and reducing whole life carbon has never been more critical. While not yet in place, the proposed amendment to the Building Regulations Part Z would make it mandatory to undertake WLCA assessments for buildings.

The CIBSE Certification Whole Life Carbon Assessor competency scheme based on the RICS WLCA Standard 2^nd Edition methodology prepares professionals to take advantage of such developments by recognising their competence to assess and verify carbon impacts across a building’s entire lifecycle.

Key Benefits of becoming a Whole Life Carbon Assessor:

• Demonstrate your expertise in assessing embodied and operational carbon
• Build trust with clients through independent, recognised certification
• Align with industry standards and best practice methodologies
• Support the transition to low-carbon, high-performance buildings

The scheme is designed for professionals working across sustainability, engineering, and the built environment who are looking to formalise and validate their skills in whole life carbon assessment.
