The Building Cost Information Service (BCIS) launched this week a free-to-access benchmark tool for infrastructure carbon assessment in the UK construction industry.

NBS has launched an early-stage specification library incorporating cost, carbon, and lifecycle indicators provided by BCIS.

The construction supply chain needs clarity on carbon measurement if net zero targets are to be achieved. That’s the key finding from a survey conducted by Balfour Beatty and the Supply Chain Sustainability School

Aecom is set to use carbon emissions analysis software on road projects to help develop more sustainable designs.

Zero, the carbon- and innovation-focused working group, is preparing a wiki-style playbook for net zero construction.

If the construction industry is meet the Net Zero challenge, it must over come its weakness: carbon reporting, according to Skanska UK head of environment David Mason.

To meet the demands on the industry to be ever more sustainable, the approach to BIM needs to be overhauled, says Daniel Black, not least because its potential for carbon estimation and calculation is enormous.

The Environment Agency is set to roll out a carbon and cost estimating tool, developed with Aecom, across all its construction projects to help the organisation meet its 2030 net zero ambitions.

A VR tool that analyses and visualises household carbon emissions will be on display at COP26.
