We can only efficiently reduce those things that we can measure. The Whole Life Carbon Assessment standard, produced by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), established a method for assessing the carbon impact of buildings. Its updated version, which came into effect in July, expanded its scope to include infrastructure, and was designed to be used around the world, not just in the UK.
For this comprehensive and global impact on carbon reduction efforts, the Institution was named Net Zero Gold Champion in the Engineering Matters Awards. In this episode, we learn why the standard was revised, and how it has been developed for wider use around the world.
The standard allows architects, engineers, and construction professionals to evaluate and reduce the climate impact of their work. And it provides a way to compete effectively to meet clients’ Net Zero goals.
Guests
Simon Sturgiss, lead author, Whole Life Carbon Assessment, 2nd edition; founder, Targeting Zero LLP
Mark Rogers, Head of Net Zero Carbon, Cost Management, Turner & Townsend
Amit Patel, Head of Professional Practice in Construction, Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors
