Measure What Matters: Build Your Way to Net Zero
BM TRADA can help give you clarity on how to measure, manage and meet your carbon targets by helping you better understand your impact and then giving you the right tools to reduce it.
Construction 2025
Construction 2025 is a government initiative, issued by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, which outlines its industrial strategy for the sector until 2025. The key aims are to reduce programme lengths and costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve the trade gap.
Aims
The four principle aims of the policy are:
- Reduce whole-life greenhouse gas emissions in the built environment by 50%
- Reduce construction time (measured from conception to completion) by 50%
- Reduce whole-life costs for built assets by 33%
- Reduce the trade gap on construction products by 50%
