What this service covers
PPN 06/21 is now mandatory — is your Carbon Reduction Plan ready?
Buildings are responsible for approximately 40% of the UK's total carbon emissions — split between the carbon emitted during construction (embodied carbon) and the carbon produced through energy use once occupied (operational carbon). Both need to be measured, reduced, and — where reduction is not yet possible — offset through verified voluntary carbon markets.
RetrofitScore manages the full construction and operational carbon lifecycle — from initial embodied carbon assessment and net zero planning through to ongoing portfolio monitoring, voluntary market access, and verified carbon retirement.

How we deliver
From carbon assessment to verified net zero — a complete managed programme
Every Construction CO₂ and Net Zero Buildings engagement follows a structured process — ensuring carbon is measured correctly, reduced as far as possible, and any residual emissions are offset through verified, credible market mechanisms.
Eligibility assessment & sector identification
We assess your operations against the qualifying sectors list — identifying which sector umbrella body covers your activities and confirming your eligibility for a CCA. Many businesses in qualifying sectors are unaware they are eligible, or have previously been declined incorrectly. We also identify whether your site qualifies under multiple sectors, which can maximise the scope of your CCL relief.
Operational carbon baseline & monitoring
We establish a verified operational carbon baseline using actual energy consumption data — Scope 1 (gas, fuel), Scope 2 (purchased electricity), and relevant Scope 3 sources. Year-on-year operational carbon is tracked against the baseline, with performance measured against RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge targets and UKGBC net zero operational benchmarks.
Net zero building roadmap & reduction plan
We develop a structured net zero roadmap — sequencing embodied carbon reduction measures (low-carbon materials, MMC, structural optimisation) alongside operational improvements (fabric, renewables, low-carbon heating). Reduction targets are set against science-based pathways, with a costed implementation programme for each phase of delivery.
Portfolio CO₂ term planning & carbon finance
For developers and investors managing multiple assets, we produce a portfolio-level CO₂ term plan — prioritising properties by carbon impact and sequencing improvements over a defined plan period. Carbon savings generated by completed improvements can be forward-sold to fund subsequent phases of delivery, creating a self-financing carbon programme.
Verified carbon credit brokering & retirement
For residual emissions that cannot yet be eliminated, we broker access to verified carbon credits across Gold Standard, Verra VCS, UK Peatland Code, and Woodland Carbon Code registries. Credits are selected to match your sector, geography, and reporting requirements — then retired on your behalf with full chain-of-custody documentation, serial numbers, and retirement certificates.
Reporting, disclosure & planning condition support
We produce net zero carbon reporting for planning conditions, investor disclosure (TCFD, CDP, GRESB), ESG reporting frameworks, and voluntary sustainability accreditations. Reports include verified carbon footprints, reduction trajectories, offset retirement records, and narrative compliance statements — ready for submission, publication, and audit.
Electricity CCL rate 2024/25
0.775p
Per kWh — standard rate
Establish your Scope 1, 2 & 3 carbon footprint. Set a verified baseline for all future reduction targets and reporting.
With CCA — electricity
90%
CCL reduction on electricity
CCA holders receive a 90% reduction on their electricity CCL rate — paying just 0.0775p per kWh instead of the full rate. On 2GWh, that's £13,950 saved every year.
Gas CCL rate 2024/25
0.213p
Per kWh — standard rate
The standard CCL rate on gas. For a business consuming 5GWh of gas per year, this means £10,650 in gas CCL — annually, before any relief.
With CCA — gas
65%
CCL reduction on gas
CCA holders receive a 65% reduction on their gas CCL rate. On 5GWh of gas, that's £6,922 saved per year — on top of electricity savings. Combined savings are typically £10,000–£100,000+ per annum.
