The UK Net Zero Carbon Building Standard

The UK NZC Building Standard sets out to provide a methodology by which buildings can be assessed as Net Zero against Science-Based targets to reduce emissions in line with the Paris climate agreement. Working groups have tackled 13 different building sectors to determine an approach to setting limits on embodied carbon and operational energy, and minimum targets for aspects such as on-site renewables, demand flexibility, etc. Chairperson Heather Evans, National Head of Sustainability - Rider Levett Bucknall Speakers Julie Godefroy, Head of Net Zero Policy - CIBSE Adam Baranowski, Head of Climate Action & Investment - Better Buildings Partnership Fabrizio Varriale, Place & Space Analyst - RICS
