What this service does

Risk, compliance and value in one report

We combine site surveys, environmental and contamination risk, decarbonisation design, financial modelling and climate risk at asset level, so you see the regulatory risk, the stranding risk and the value green interventions can add.

What the report covers

Two workstreams, one integrated report

Environmental due diligence tells you the risks the building carries. The decarbonisation pathway tells you what it could become.

Workstream 1
Environmental due diligence
The risks the building carries today
Environmental Risk Assessment
Contamination sources, receptor pathways and a risk summary matrix.
Contamination & Ground Conditions
Site history, geology, hydrogeology and hydrology, with source–pathway–receptor analysis.
Asbestos & Hazardous Materials
ACM register review, observed condition, and management actions before works.
Site Operations
Bulk and hazardous storage, waste streams, drainage, oil interceptors and trade effluent.
Regulatory Review
Planning history, Environment Agency data, MEES compliance and the EPC trajectory to 2027/2030.
Climate Risk Analysis
Physical hazard screening under TCFD/ISSB (RCP 2.6–8.5): drought, flood, storm, hail and heat stress.
Site Context & M&E Conditions
Inventory of existing heating, electrical, DHW, BMS and renewables.

Workstream 2
Decarbonisation pathway
What the building could become, and what it is worth
Decarbonisation of Heat
Existing system audit, ASHP sizing and design, scope of works and system integration plan.
Energy Generation
Rooftop solar PV feasibility, panel layout, P90 generation modelling, and self-use vs. export.
Electric Vehicle Charging
Excess solar utilisation, rapid charger specification, revenue modelling and a scalable rollout plan.
Energy Efficiency
LED upgrades, heating modernisation, energy monitoring and a GRESB-ready sub-metering philosophy.
Financial & Costing Analysis
Full CapEx schedule, IRR and NPV, cumulative returns, tenant savings and energy savings over 30 years.
CRREM Pathways Assessment
Carbon intensity against the 1.5°C pathway, stranding risk quantified, net zero alignment year projected.
Sustainability Baseline
Scored against 10 criteria, including biodiversity, EV charging, water efficiency, certification and GRESB readiness.

Both workstreams feed into
Key Findings Dashboard
EPC ratings, ESG risk flags, power supply constraints, destranding strategy and EV charging opportunities, all at a glance.
What you get

What the building is, and what it could be

Every report comes with the numbers to back it up. Typical outputs include:
Value and decarbonisation

The upside

✓
EPC uplift pathway
e.g. C/D → EPC B across all units
✓
Unlevered IRR
On the decarbonisation strategy
✓
CRREM alignment
Confirmed, with stranding risk removed
✓
Costed scenarios
e.g. heat pumps + solar only vs. with EV charging
✓
Tenant savings
Quantified and charted
✓
Green finance inputs
Ready to use in green financing applications

Risk and compliance

The risk

✓
Environmental risk position
e.g. “acceptably low for current use; no further pre-acquisition investigation required”
✓
Asbestos / ACM status
With management actions
✓
Contamination & ground risk
Source–pathway–receptor summary
✓
Regulatory compliance position
Part 2A, Environment Agency, planning and MEES
✓
Flood & physical climate risk
TCFD-aligned rating
✓
Sustainability baseline score
GRESB-ready

Outcome

Environmental due diligence and a decarbonisation strategy in a single investment-grade report — showing you what the building is, the risks it carries, what it could become, and what it is worth in transition scenarios.
