Carbon Balance
Quantifying carbon and delivering net zero
At abc, we’ve long been on a mission to turn complex carbon data into actionable strategies for net zero place-making.
Our award-winning service Balance helps local authorities, planning consultants, and built environment professionals deliver net zero places through data-driven carbon analysis, iterative scenario testing and nature-based solutions. Not only does it make net zero easy to grasp, it translates net zero into tangible benefits for communities.
Balance as a service was developed internally at abc after two years of research with the University of Strathclyde, Innovate UK, and Scottish Enterprise. It’s the first holistic tool to calculate and manage carbon emissions across every aspect of place – from buildings and infrastructure, to green space and transport.

- Embodied Carbon Life-Cycle
