Home Insights Counting the upfront carbon in Cat B office fit out | Part 1
A two part cross-sector industry report that establishes the current upfront carbon performance level of a Cat B office fit out.
Experts from across the fit out sector set out to answer this critical question: What’s the current upfront carbon (life cycle modules A1-A5) performance level for Cat B office fit out?
And the answer?
It’s not straightforward. But if you wanted an evidenced average of the current upfront carbon performance level of Cat B office fit out, your number would be 190 kg CO2e/m² (with a lot of caveats to go alongside).
Why is establishing the upfront carbon impact in Cat B office fit out important?
If we’re optimistic, the shell and core plus Cat A of a building are built to last 60 years and 20 years respectively. During this time, there’ll be multiple Cat B fit outs. If a fit out takes place every five to ten years, then the Cat B carbon impact could equal that of the shell and core plus Cat A in as little as 20 years.
This cumulative Cat B carbon cost is why our research is so important.
