Linking Design Decisions to Emissions Performance Outcomes

Project-level greenhouse gas (GHG) management complications emerge when design decisions need to hold up to scrutiny without clear visibility into how development options affect emissions outcomes. Project development teams typically seek our services when:

  • Early design and equipment decisions risk locking in long-term emissions outcomes before they are fully understood.
  • Teams may need to compare options (e.g., technologies, fuels, system configurations), but don’t always have a clear view of the emissions implications.
  • Projects require emissions estimates to support internal approvals, client requests, funding applications or broader sustainability objectives.
  • Organizations with corporate climate goals may need project-level insight to understand how individual decisions contribute to overall emissions performance.

Our approach to greenhouse gas performance tracking

Embedding GHG Insight into evaluation and design to support accountable project decisions

At the project level, emissions work is typically about informing specific decisions rather than meeting standalone requirements. We start by estimating emissions associated with the project or design under consideration.

From there, we can focus on how different options, such as system configurations, technologies, or energy sources, affect both emissions and energy use. The intent is to provide information that fits into the existing decision-making process, so emissions can be considered alongside cost, performance, and other project priorities.

Clear and practical emissions insight

Our work is designed to be straightforward and usable within a project context. The focus is on providing insight that supports decisions, rather than producing standalone reporting.

Establish Emissions Baselines

Quantify project-level greenhouse gas emissions and energy use under defined conditions.

Defined Boundaries and Assumptions

Establish clear system limits and assumptions to support consistent, defensible analysis.

Identify Emissions Drivers

Identify dominant sources of emissions within scope to guide design decisions.

Design Option Comparisons

Compare technologies and configurations to assess emissions, energy, and trade-offs.
integrated expertise

driving value across multi-disciplinary project teams and complex processes

Emissions considerations are part of broader project decisions, not a separate exercise. Effective integration depends on working within the technical and commercial context of each project – and where relevant, connect project-level decisions to corporate sustainability targets or internal objectives.

Design and engineering

Assess how specific design choices influence emissions and energy performance.

Technology and systems

Compare options such as equipment selection, electrification, or efficiency improvements within the project scope.

Cost and performance trade-offs

Support discussions where emissions are one of several considerations in selecting a preferred option.

Supporting projects through key decision points

Support can be provided at different stages depending on project needs, including early-stage option screening, design development and comparison of alternatives, or targeted analysis to support specific decisions.

The level of involvement remains flexible, focusing on where emissions considerations materially affect outcomes rather than introducing a separate workstream. The service can also connect into related service areas where project-level decisions inform broader climate or sustainability efforts.

When should GHG emissions be considered on a project?

Typically when decisions are being made that affect energy use or system design, such as equipment selection, fuel choice, or overall configuration. Earlier stages allow for more flexibility, but analysis can be useful at any point.

Book a Discovery Call

What level of information do you need to complete an assessment?

We work with what is available. Early-stage projects may rely on assumptions to provide directional insight, while more detailed designs allow for refined analysis.

Book a Discovery Call

Can you compare different options or technologies?

Yes. Comparing alternatives is a core part of this work. We assess how emissions and energy use vary between options, and where relevant, include cost considerations.

Book a Discovery Call

How does this fit within our existing project process?

The analysis is designed to support existing workflows. Outputs are intended to inform design and decision-making, rather than introduce a separate reporting process.

Book a Discovery Call

Is this only relevant if we have corporate GHG targets?

No. While it can support broader sustainability goals, it is also useful for understanding the implications of specific project decisions, regardless of whether formal targets are in place.
