PAS 2080 Managing carbon in buildings and infrastructure
Is your organization looking to start on its greenhouse gas reporting journey for its buildings and infrastructure – whether for a carbon neutral or net zero goal, reports to the board of directors, or just for internal use and improvement? PAS 2080 is an internationally recognized, tried and tested standard defining how carbon management within your buildings and your infrastructure can be reported upon and reduced across their entire lifecycle.
Certification to PAS 2080 shows that your organization is taking its environmental credentials seriously, around 40% of UK carbon emissions are linked to the built environment (UK Govt. ‘Promoting Net Zero and Sustainability in Construction’). Certification requires all value chain members to show leadership and establish effective governance mechanisms for reducing whole life carbon through a common management process.
The individual value chain requirements are structured around:
- effective leadership.
- maximizing opportunities for whole life carbon reductions at all stages of the delivery process.
- selecting appropriate carbon emissions assessment methodologies.
- setting appropriate carbon reduction targets.
- determining baselines against which to assess carbon reductions.
- establishing metrics (e.g. key performance indicators – KPIs) for credible carbon emissions monitoring and reporting.
- integrating carbon management into procurement.
- continual improvement of carbon management and performance.
