James Fiske, Chief Executive of BCIS and Chair of the Steering Group, said: “With the Government turning to green commitments, there has never been a more important time for the UK construction industry to take the lead in reducing carbon emissions. “Thanks to the recently updated RICS Professional Standard for Lifetime Carbon Assessment, which provides consistency in measuring environmental impact and is the net zero carbon standard for buildings, we have a framework in place to do this. "Another important part of the puzzle is data. Unless we have easy access to accurate and consistent carbon data and a place to share knowledge and experience, we will never truly understand whether we are making the right decisions.” (Justin Stanton)
