The UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard (NZCBS) is a voluntary standard, derived from \u2018an unprecedented collaborative effort\u2019, that is applicable to new build, existing buildings and retrofits, with a version 1 consultation now out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

NZCBS writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is science-led, created by the industry, for the industry, through an unprecedented collaborative effort. Version 1 was published in March 2026. It has been updated for clarity and usability following Pilot Testing and wider industry feedback. It includes additional Annexes covering landlord- and tenant-only routes to verification, and an optional verified check at Practical Completion to determine whether a building is on track. A summary of changes can be found in Resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have any comments about version 1, please submit your feedback via this survey. Verification to the Standard will open soon, in Q2 of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
