🔊"We're exploring everything from #lowcarbon concrete alternatives to advanced insulation materials. These innovations have the potential to significantly reduce the #carbonfootprint of buildings throughout their lifecycle." Construction Digital highlights BRE CEO Gillian Charlesworth's comments on how the #construction industry can innovate on #sustainability in the face of #climatechange, highlighting: - The need to retrofit buildings to meet modern #energyefficiency standards. - The role of BRE tools and methodologies, including #BREEAM and #HQM. - The role of BIM to optimise building design and reduce material waste. - The need to upskill by investing in industry training and education. 📄 Read more by Sean Ashcroft: https://lnkd.in/e8WMVWNu #zerocarbon #netzero #builtenvironment #construction #netzero2050

🌍 How can global #decarbonisation standards help us create a more sustainable #builtenvironment? As global regulations tighten and #climate-related risks become more pronounced, buildings that are not aligned with #sustainability standards and #decarbonisation frameworks will face higher operational costs, increased regulatory compliance costs, and reduced asset values. 📄 Our new report with the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA), the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC), the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), and Alliance HQE - GBC (France), calls for the use of global decarbonisation standards to help bring the majority of buildings up to modern sustainability standards.

🔊"The group feels that standardising global #decarbonisation standards, with concrete standards, metrics, and decarbonisation tools that can be used globally, will help. A lack of a common approach in reporting standards makes it harder to truly understand building performance and its ability to adapt to #climate risks over time." 🌍 BRE joins coalition made up of Green Building Council of Australia, Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC), U.S. Green Building Council and Alliance HQE - GBC to publish this report, "Building Transition: How to Scale and Finance an Inclusive Transition for the Built Environment," which argues most buildings are locked out of #greenfinance and resources due to a lack of capital. 📄 Focusing its research on the estimated 75% of buildings that have not adopted green practices, read more in ThisWeekinFM: https://lnkd.in/euP7zwJ9 #netzero #construction #sustainableconstruction #climatechange
