The Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE) has published new guidance to support building project teams in assessing and tracking embodied carbon in line with the UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard.
It contains a step-by-step process for selecting embodied carbon limits and includes guidance on conducting lifecycle embodied carbon assessments and best-practice carbon management during design and construction.
The UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard is a methodology for defining and proving buildings are net-zero carbon, covering both embodied and operational emissions. It was developed by a group of industry bodies, including the Better Building Partnership, BRE, Carbon Trust and the UK Green Building Council.
