WEBINAR: Getting to grips with the UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings standardDate: Tuesday 19th November 2024Time: 11-12 GMTClick here to register: https://lnkd.in/e-DS2bggThis webinar will focus on the specific requirements to applying the standards to new build, retrofits and existing properties and how the requirements can be embedded into existing processes.The panel will also discuss how the requirements of the standards compare to some of the other industry standards and ratings, and how various users including property owners, investors, asset managers, developers and lenders can use the standard to transition to net zero.Amrita Dasgupta Shekhar Rodrigo García Priego Cameron Parker Frankie Demetriades#NZCBS #Netzero #TheGreenAge #SustainabilityMatters #LongTermThinking #NetPositive #EmbodiedCarbon #CarbonNeutrality #Greengagenetzero

My initial read of the Standard certainly paved the way for questions and clarifications around existing buildings and retrofits.1. How can existing buildings recently retrofitted conform to the Standard? Will they need to be retrofitted again if they fail the metrics? 2. How can assets that are currently stranded and are planning retrofits to enhance their attractiveness confirm to the Standard? 3. By allowing two retrofit approaches, is the Standard incentivising asset owners to adopt the ‘one-go’ retrofit approach which encourage early action to stay within 2040 limits?Applying the Standard to some of our existing projects also throws open so many questions.

New article from me on taking a retrofit first approach. My focus here is on the commercial sector. My argument is that while there is a lot of very positive activity in terms of retrofit across the commercial sector, there is still some way to go.I then go on to discuss costs and financing, and the data challenge/gap/opportunity...Note that the article is behind a paywall but you can sign up for a 3 month trial for free.

The discussion around net zero and stranded assets in commercial real estate is growing ever louder, as highlighted this week in the Business Post.The future of real estate is being shaped not only by economic forces but also by increasing regulatory pressure to decarbonise. As buildings either adapt or risk becoming obsolete, the push for sustainable development is more critical than ever.At Dowds Construction, we’ve been working across sectors to future-proof assets by integrating energy-efficient solutions. From retrofits to new builds that meet the most stringent sustainability standards, we’re focused on helping clients navigate these changes.For those committed to aligning their properties with net-zero goals, it’s clear that early action will deliver both environmental and financial benefits. How is your business preparing for the transition?Dowds Group#NetZero #SustainableConstruction #Decarbonisation #FutureProofing https://lnkd.in/eTCXWrsh

👇 And do get in touch if you'd like to discuss your approach to ESG.

With an ever-growing focus on how best to achieve net zero and improve energy efficiency, there is mounting recognition of the impact of the built environment on carbon emissions, not just at the initial build stage but throughout an asset’s life cycle. In this article, our real estate team explores the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors' Whole Life Carbon Assessment, which seeks to achieve a consistent global approach to measuring the carbon impact of built assets.Read our article here: https://lnkd.in/gtDnk7ma#RealEstate #ESG #Sustainability #Carbon #NetZero #EnergyEfficiency

Investing in low-carbon buildings doesn't just make environmental sense, it's good business sense. For businesses looking to cut costs in the long term, taking action to decarbonize now will make it easier to not only meet Net Zero targets, but save big on energy costs. The biggest hurdle here will be overcoming the initial financial hurdle of retrofitting existing buildings. Public/private partnerships will be vital here.#Decarbonization #NetZero #FutureOfCities

A very useful article here from my colleagues Karen Scanna, Emilio Gómez Delgado, Sabine Reimann, Maria Deledda and Giorgio Perretti, looking at the varying approaches taken to improving the energy performance of buildings in Spain, Germany, Italy, the US and the UK. It is really interesting to see how different jurisdictions try to achieve the ambitious and crucial goal of improving energy efficiency and achieving net zero. Will sanctions, or incentives and subsidies, prove to be the more effective?#esg #sustainability #energyperformance #crossborder
