The cumulative carbon effect in CAT B fit out

Late in 2023, a dedicated cross-sector research group was set up to better understand the upfront carbon emissions associated with Cat B Office fit out projects. Created as an extension of the Offices Sector Group for the UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard, the team sought to obtain data on the current industry performance level of Cat B office fit outs. This information is intended to be used in the limit-setting exercise to help apportion the industry’s remaining carbon budget, before release of the Beta Test version of the Standard in Summer 2024. The results of this research have informed subsequent discussions around the cumulative embodied carbon impact of Cat B Fit Out projects, which is the subject for this panel discussion.  Speakers Zoë Glander, Environmental and Sustainability Manager - Overbury Asif Din, Sustainability Director - Perkins + Will Andrew Moore, Associate Director - Hilson Moran Will Belfield, Principal Sustainability Consultant - Hoare Lea Elina Grigoriou, Design and Sustainability Director - Grigoriou Interiors
