Reducing embodied carbon requires a systemic approach across the built environment sector – from project decisions (e.g. adapt/reuse), to design improvements, to how we build, to investing in the decarbonisation of our supply chains.

There are different levels of engagement and competency within industry, but working collaboratively with government will help scale up progress and take everyone on the journey to net zero.

This report continues the great work already started by government and industry, mapping out a policy ecosystem that can support the consistent upfront embodied carbon measurement methodology developed by NABERS.

Read in conjunction with our Issues Paper, ASBEC’s comprehensive policy framework aims to reinforce and amplify government and industry efforts to reduce upfront embodied carbon across buildings and infrastructure.
