🔊"Industry organisations have played a pivotal role in advancing the decarbonisation mandate through the development of the UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard, a landmark initiative which established limits that align with the 1.5°C global heating threshold set by the Paris Agreement." UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) discusses industry progress on tackling embodied carbon to meet the UK’s carbon budget, highlighting standards such as the UK NZC Buildings Standard (UKNZCBS). The #UKNZCBS is free-to-access technical standard that will enable the #construction industry to robustly prove that built assets align with the UK’s #carbon and energy budgets. BRE joins leading organisations Better Buildings Partnership, The Carbon Trust, CIBSE, IStructE London YMG, LETI, RIBA, RICS, and UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) in developing this initiative.
