        • Commercial Retrofit

          Commercial Retrofit

          Energy required to heat, power and operate commercial buildings accounts for nearly a quarter of the built environment’s carbon footprint in the UK. Significant improvements in energy efficiency must be accelerated across all sectors. To address this challenge, UKGBC is working with a team of industry experts to accelerate the delivery of commercial retrofit programmes.

        • Embodied Carbon

          Embodied Carbon

          Embodied carbon from the construction and refurbishment of buildings currently makes up 20% of UK built environment emissions. UKGBC’s Advancing Net Zero team is working with experts across the industry to change this.

        • Home Retrofit

          Home Retrofit

          With time running out to keep global temperatures to 1.5 degrees, upgrading the nation’s homes is one of the biggest opportunities the UK has to reduce carbon emissions whilst tackling the cost-of-living crisis, energy security and levelling up.

        • Net Zero Carbon Buildings Framework

          Net Zero Carbon Buildings Framework

          UKGBC published the Net Zero Carbon Buildings Framework Definition in 2019 to provide the industry with clarity on the definition of net zero carbon buildings.

          • Supply Chain Decarbonisation Task Group

          Supply Chain Decarbonisation

          The built environment is responsible for 25% of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions and to rapidly decarbonise the industry must mobilise towards this common goal. At the core of any industry’s activity are complex supply chains that necessitate collaborative work to gain the clarity, agreement and support needed for climate action.

          Circular Economy and Nature

          The over extraction of resources is one of the prime threats to nature. Following COP15 and the Kunming Montreal agreement, it’s crucial that more than ever we hold nature centrally in all our work.
