New UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard now being piloted🌿
Following two years of development a science-led UK standard has now been released. The purpose of this is to align all major building sectors with the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to no more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
The standard has been produced following a collaboration by industry experts and is designed to enable the building industry to robustly prove their build assets are net zero carbon.
Key principles
• Covers both operational and embodied carbon
• Focuses on energy efficiency and closing the gap between design and real-world performance
• Prioritises reuse of buildings and materials
• Takes a Whole Life Carbon approach
• Encourages on-site renewable energy generation
• Supports grid decarbonisation and electrification, through demand management
• Applicable to new and existing buildings across all sectors
At HDSgreentech, we are monitoring the pilot and can advise on how to incorporate measures into your project. Once further data has been collected, the standard will develop, and we will stay informed to ensure projects meet vital industry targets for sustainable buildings.
