UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard writes:
The launch of the Pilot Version of the UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard is the culmination of an incredible collaboration from experts across the UK Built Environment Industry. The Pilot Version of the Standard enables industry to robustly prove their built assets are net zero carbon and in line with our nation’s climate targets.
The UK’s first cross-industry Standard that brings together Net-Zero Carbon requirements for all major building types, and couldn’t have been achieved without the hard work of our talented and dedicated volunteers. We are proud to be able to share it with you all.
Thank you to our leading organisations BBP, BRE, CIBSE, Carbon Trust, IStructE, LETI, RIBA, RICS and UKGBC who joined forces to champion this initiative.

UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard
The UK’s first cross- industry Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard that brings together Net-Zero Carbon requirements for all major building types, based on a 1.5°C trajectory. Whilst significant progress has been made in defining what ‘net zero’ means for buildings in the UK, a process of market analysis showed a clear demand for a single, agreed methodology. The UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard enables industry to robustly prove their built assets are net zero carbon and in line with our nation’s climate targets. The UKNZCBS aligns as far as possible with existing Net Zero initiatives and standards. Want to know more? See our FAQs page for further information.
