The trend report.
Net Zero trajectory.
PROJECTED EMISSIONS 2018 – 2050
From the UKGBC Whole Life Carbon roadmap
WHAT? The Net Zero trajectory shows projected emissions from the built environment, setting out the required pace and scale of mitigation measures.
HOW? Informed by data inputs from the project team, who collaboratively developed policy recommendations to drive and enable the transition.
On the radar.
1.
METERING AND BILLING SOON ENFORCED
By September 2022, recent amendments to the heat network metering and billing regulations will be legally enforceable and appropriate metering needs to be installed. The regulations cover residential, commercial, industrial, and public sector networks across the UK.

MINIMUM ENERGY EFFICIENCY STANDARDS
The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) are expected to require landlords to upgrade their buildings to EPC rating C by 2027 and EPC B by 2030. This is part of new energy performance regulation proposals, intended to reduce buildings’ energy usage by 30%.

NATURE-BASED INNOVATION CHALLENGE
The UKGBC set two innovation challenges for nature-based and climate-resilient solutions for the built environment. An industry judging panel assessed the practicality, immediacy and impact of each solution, with a report released detailing the winners.

“Change for better: one-time or continuous, large or small.”
With social responsibility towards the community, environment and occupants becoming a driving force in building selection, we have a moral imperative to elevate the rate that historic buildings are refurbished and preserved.

Thinking about.
The UK’s first NABERS 5*.
Timber Square, our most exemplar zero-carbon, nature-led scheme, has become the UK’s first Design for Performance project to complete an Independent Design Review and score five stars. The ground-breaking award was made following a thorough analysis against NABERS’ five-star Design Reviewed Target Rating.

Committed to lighting the way.
To challenge the industry focus on high-end architecture projects with little consideration of social value, people, and ecology, our Lighting Design team has created five commitments to define their approach. Their new commitments focus on energy-efficient, sustainable and people-centric spaces, as well as sharing knowledge and furthering policy for the industry.

Our Net Zero Carbon transparency.
Publishing our Net Zero Carbon strategy and carbon emissions assessment for 2020/21 allows us to demonstrate transparency in our Net Zero verification. It also allows other business to see our approach to evaluating, reducing and offsetting carbon emissions arising from building energy use, business vehicle emissions and fugitive emissions.
