What ’ s the key message with measurement ? The construction sector must step up transparent measures and take responsibility of its own accord preparing for a low-carbon future .

Isn ’ t it doing that already ? Most of the focus is on new builds . To reach net zero , both the industry and investors must focus on ‘ whole life ’ carbon construction .

What are the next steps ? Detailed stakeholder action plans will be sent to every subsector and professional organisation – it ’ s crucial to join the dots in such a fragmented industry .

How important will digital be in driving measurement standards ? Integral Digital technology not only provides the framework for progress to be made in terms of sustainability , but also safety and compliance .
