Alongside a group of leading industry experts and organisations, ASBP is supporting a revamped campaign which is calling for the regulation of embodied carbon through the building regulations.
The Part Z initiative has received more than 200 statements of support from across industry since its launch in 2021 and is backed by all of the main construction and professional organisations, including CIBSE, RIBA, RICS and UKGBC.
The proposed Part Z, and the proposed Approved Document Z (the accompanying guidance) are drafted and ready to be enacted.
Our CEO Simon Corbey says it is now more important than ever for construction professionals to sign up and show their support.
“It is known that the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) has been actively looking at Part Z proposals and is just about to publish a report by AECOM on industry readiness. The more signatures the Part Z campaign can collect, the more likely the government will take notice and act.” – Simon Corbey, CEO, ASBP
As a long time supporter of the regulation of embodied carbon, ASBP is urging all of its members and wider industry to get involved.
