Property Patter: Net Zero Building Standard
In this episode, Construction Partner David Savage is joined by Julie Godefroy, Head of Net Zero Policy at The Chartered Institute of Building Service Engineers (CIBSE) to discuss the forthcoming UK Net Zero Carbon Building Standard, a cross-industry initiative that will bring together Net-Zero Carbon requirements for all major building types.
Julie is one of the architects and technical experts behind the Net Zero Building Standard and gives us an insight into where the initiative came from and what it is intended to achieve.
They discuss practical steps that the real estate sector can do to prepare for the transition, and they take a closer look how the standard will deal with the topical question of retrofitting vs. building new.
Finally, they also shed light on how a mindset-change will help to achieve the embodied and operational carbon savings envisaged by the new standard.
