RICS: The New Leading Standards to Revolutionise Carbon Reduction in the Built Environment with Charlotte Neal, David Partridge & Clara Bagenal George #97

While the need for carbon reduction is clear, the route to creating a built environment that better serves this need is constantly being refined.

Through their work at Introba UK and Related Argent respectively, Clara Bagenal George and David Partridge are contributing to the RICS whole life carbon assessment (WLCA) standard and the Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard.

Clara and David join RICS’ Charlotte Neal on the podcast this week to discuss the formation of these standards, and personal journeys implementing positive steps to reduce carbon in their own activities.

This episode of The RICS Podcast covers:

• How BECD and the Whole Life Carbon Assessment methodology work together in tandem
• Why the Net Zero Carbon Building Standard is so essential for the industry
• David and Clara’s personal pursuits for more carbon conscious lifestyles
• Trying to overcome reliance on third parties to make your own positive changes
