Laing O'Rourke's Dublin 1 regional office carries low physical water risk and a grid decarbonising fast, making Scope 2 electricity the primary — and rapidly shrinking — impact lever at this site.
This is a standard regional office asset with no material water dependency: the site sits in the Ireland (ex 602) watershed with a baseline water stress label of Low-Medium (10-20%, score 1.07) and an overall physical risk score of 0.96 (Low, <25%), including modest coastal (1.20) and riverine (0.86) flood scores and low water depletion (0.58). The dominant impact channel is Scope 2 GHG from grid electricity: Ireland's grid carried an observed intensity of 256.38 gCO2/kWh in 2025 (Ember Yearly Electricity 2025), meaning the office's operational footprint is driven almost entirely by purchased power rather than site-level physical exposure. No flow data (energy/water consumption volumes) is available at the facility level, so absolute impact magnitude cannot be quantified here.
By 2030, IEA WEO 2024 STEPS projects the Irish grid intensity falling to 130 gCO2/kWh — roughly a 49% reduction from the 2025 observed value — meaning any given kWh consumed at this office will carry about half today's embedded emissions with no change in operational behavior required. Physical risk indicators (water stress, flood, drought) have no 2030 horizon values reported in this dataset, so the water/flood risk profile should be treated as static at today's Low-Medium levels pending updated horizon modelling.
The decarbonisation trajectory steepens further to 2050, with grid intensity projected at 50 gCO2/kWh — an ~80% reduction versus 2025 — effectively neutralising Scope 2 as a material transition risk for this office by mid-century. No 2080 grid or water-stress/depletion horizon data is provided, and residual physical risk (coastal/riverine flood, drought) remains unquantified beyond today's Low baseline, so long-term physical exposure should be revisited once longer-horizon climate layers are populated for this location.
