the Edge, working within Workstream 10 of the Climate Change Committee of the Construction Industry Council (CIC) and other partners, has announced the Consultation Draft of ‘Competence frameworks for the built environment – Core criteria for sustainability competence – Code of practice’, with comments to be submitted by 16 November.
the Edge writes:
Working with Workstream 10 of the CIC’s Climate Change Committee, the support of the University College for Estate Management (UCEM) and an industry-wide Advisory Panel, the Edge has developed a draft Competence Framework for sustainability in the built environment. The Framework is a Seed Document for an eventual British Standard intended to form part of its BS 8670 Competence series and is being published for public consultation and comment.
The Standard covers all aspects of sustainability for built environment and infrastructure provision, including associated external and landscape works, for the full breadth of professions and trades in the sector. It is an overarching framework for the development of discipline-specific competency frameworks.
…Comments on the Framework should be sent to the Edge at contact@edgedebate.com before the close of the consultation period on November 16th 2024
