AIA UK Sustainability Talk: Developing the UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard

Join this lunchtime talk to learn about the UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard and how you can help shape it!

When: Tuesday 6 December 2022, 1pm GMT
Where: Online via Zoom
CES Credits: Estimated 1 LU/ HSW for AIA Members

Description

The UK's first Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard is being put together now and leading industry organisations BBP, BRE, the Carbon Trust, CIBSE, IStructE, LETI, RIBA, RICS, and UKGBC have joined forces to champion this initiative.  Whilst significant progress has been made in defining what ‘net zero’ means for buildings in the UK, a process of market analysis showed a clear demand for a single, agreed methodology. The UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard will enable industry to robustly prove their built assets are net zero carbon and in line with our nation’s climate targets.
