Summary

Universities across the UK have publicly declared net zero ambitions, setting targets for carbon reduction across their estates as part of wider institutional sustainability strategies. As scrutiny from students, funders and regulators increases, the challenge for estates teams is not just about setting ambition but demonstrating credibility and consistency in how “net zero” is defined and delivered at a building level.

What to expect

In this session, delivered by RLB’s National Head of MEP & Decarbonisation Delivery, Jedd Davies CEng, we will help estates teams understand how the Standard provides a single, credible framework to validate net zero ambitions. We will help to show how the Standard applies across higher education estates, the importance of addressing both operational and embodied carbon, and how it can inform capital investment, procurement and estate decarbonisation decisions.
