The 9 Priorities

Transport

1
Accelerating the shift of the construction workforce to zero emission vehicles and onsite plant
2
Optimise the use of Modern Methods of Construction and improved onsite logistics, in doing so reducing waste and transport to sites
3
Championing developments and infrastructure investments that both enable connectivity with low carbon modes of transport and design to incorporate readiness for zero emission vehicles

Buildings

4
Work with Government to deliver retrofitting to improve energy efficiency of the existing housing stock
5
Scale up industry capability to deliver low carbon heat solutions in buildings, supporting heat pump deployment, trials of hydrogen heating systems and heat networks
6
Enhancing the energy performance of new and existing buildings through higher operational energy efficiency standards and better building energy performance

Construction activity

7
Implementing carbon measurement, to support our construction projects in making quantifiable decisions to remove carbon
8
Become world leaders in designing out carbon, developing the capability of our designers and construction professionals to design in line with circular economy shifting commercial models to reward measurable carbon reductions
9
Support development of innovative low carbon materials as well as advancing low carbon solutions for manufacturing production processes and distribution
