Accurate carbon measurement and reporting rely on three fundamental requirements: a consistent methodology, a reliable dataset to draw from, and a well-trained workforce to conduct assessments. These same principles apply to measuring and reporting construction costs, meaning quantity surveyors are uniquely positioned to integrate carbon assessments into their cost evaluations.
We have the methodology in the RICS Whole Life Carbon Assessment (WLCA) for the Built Environment standard, while the Built Environment Carbon Database serves as a central industry repository for carbon emissions data. However, there is still work to be done to ensure that professionals skilled in cost reporting have the necessary knowledge and tools to streamline the carbon estimation process just as effectively.
In this special webinar, our panel will addressed questions on all things cost and carbon. They also shared more about the combined cost and carbon tool we have been developing to enable cost experts to carry out carbon assessments too, BCIS Life Cycle Evaluator. From the use of archetype models to generate early-stage estimates, to choosing components from our extensive database.
Something you may find it beneficial to read before watching the webinar is our piece around the basics of carbon in construction.
