Development of the Carbon Code for the Built Environment
The Carbon Reduction Code for the Built Environment was drafted by the CSIC Achieving Net Zero Cross-Industry Working Group in 2020 and is hosted by CSIC at the University of Cambridge on behalf of Construct Zero. The Code was trailled by three organisations (see case studies below) and intially launched at an online event on 17 June 2021 (Issue 2021:1 June 2021). Watch a recording of the launch below.
Following the conclusion of trials, the Code was reissued along with the sign-up process in November 2021 during COP26.
