NG Bailey backs international standard on carbon emissions
NG Bailey backs international standard on carbon emissions
The news this week that BREEAM, LEED and Green Star are joining forces to develop common metrics on carbon emissions can only be a good thing.
We value rating tools for our green buildings and recognise the confusion the varied international standards may have caused. Creating one international standard will help us to reach a common ground on the performance of individual green buildings and will allow us to learn best practice from each other.
The combined forces of the world's three leading environmental assessment tools to measure the environmental impact of our buildings will provide consistency in measurement and reporting to drive further improvements in performance.
At NG Bailey we wholeheartedly support this move to a more joined up approach – the alignment will make for a leading standard for other countries to follow suit. It was foreseeable that these disparate accreditation methods would join to provide one globally recognised green building assessment method, and we’re looking forward to a more cohesive way of working and seeing how the developments will be brought to fruition.
The proposed tool, in my view, will only enhance the development of a greener built environment, making it easier for those that choose to invest in sustainable measures to monitor the output of their investment.
