Carbon Monitoring Procedures

Carbon monitoring is becoming essential for construction sites, with respect to achieving particular targets under the Considerate Constructors Scheme and other environmental standards such as BREEAM.

WPS has developed an extremely efficient Carbon Monitoring methodology, which has benefited many organisations.  It includes recording and measuring all forms of energy use on site, including electricity and water.  It monitors travel to and from site by staff, visitors, delivery vehicles and waste removal services.  Results are represented graphically and in a separate report, and the resulting calculations can be used by the developer / principal contractor for carbon offsetting.

Carbon monitoring is required for compliance with BREEAM Certificate BREEAM Man 03 Construction site impacts standard. This covers the monitoring, recording and reporting of energy, water and transport consumption data. Carbon monitoring is also required under the Considerate Constructors Scheme.

Other plans which are required for BREEAM Certification, BREEAM Man 03 and/or the Considerate Constructors Scheme include Water Management Plans, Energy Management Plans, Responsible Sourcing of Site Timber, Environmental Management Systems, Green Travel Plans and Traffic Management Plans. We also offer Considerate Constructors Scheme packages.

WPSCC can provide a wide of range of support, from offering advice to measuring carbon during the entire construction project.
