Cushman & Wakefield PDS uses Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to support sustainable decision-making across all stages of real estate projects, from materials and construction to operation and end of life. LCA measures cumulative environmental impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions and resource use, informing design choices, supporting frameworks like LEED, and aligning with ESG goals.

Keyways PDS applies LCA:

• Compare baseline and proposed designs to identify early impact reduction opportunities.
• Provide technical input for sustainability certifications.
• Quantify emissions and life cycle impacts to guide ESG reporting.
• Use results to optimize material selection, construction methods, and performance for decarbonization.

With LCA at the core, every project drives both efficiency and environmental responsibility.
