PAS 2080 Managing Carbon in Buildings & Infrastructure
What is PAS 2080?
PAS 2080:2023 is a valued investment in any business. At a time of a global climate emergency and with an international agreement to transition to a net zero carbon economy by or before 2050, PAS 2080 outlines a carbon management process that is applicable across both infrastructure and buildings, recognizing that they have key commonalities and are part of an interconnected system – the built environment.
By following the PAS 2080 approach, value chain members across the built environment can work collaboratively towards the common goal of net zero carbon transition and achieve the following outcomes:
- Align buildings and infrastructure projects and/or programmes of work, at the asset, network or system level, to the net zero transition by or before 2050, and therefore contribute to limiting global warming to 1.5 °C, as per Paris Climate Agreement 2015.
- Reduce carbon and increase value across the whole life of buildings and infrastructure.
- Remove silos and create collaborative ways of working that promote innovation, encourage positive change for society and support economic development.
PAS 2080 includes requirements for all value chain members to show leadership and establish effective governance mechanisms for reducing whole life carbon through a common management process.
The individual value chain requirements are structured around:
- Effective leadership.
- Maximizing opportunities for whole life carbon reductions at all stages of the delivery process.
- Selecting appropriate carbon emissions assessment methodologies.
- Setting appropriate carbon reduction targets.
- Determining baselines against which to assess carbon reductions.
- Establishing metrics (e.g. key performance indicators – KPIs) for credible carbon emissions monitoring and reporting.
- Integrating carbon management into procurement.
- Continual improvement of carbon management and performance.
