The UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) has today opened applications to apply for one of four Task Groups that will help shape the content of the Whole Life Carbon Roadmap for the UK Built Environment.

The Whole Life Carbon Roadmap project aims to develop a timeline of carbon reduction targets and actions, covering the total life cycle impact of the built environment in the UK, and secure the support of relevant industry actors in delivering decarbonisation.
Critically, the Roadmap development aims to be a consensus-based, co-owned process that brings together key stakeholders from across the built environment sector. There will be various opportunities for industry involvement, including via participation in one of the following four Task Groups:
New Build: Residential and Commercial
Retrofit: Residential
Retrofit: Commercial
Infrastructure
The Task Groups will provide a forum for forward thinking practitioners to tackle the pressing challenges to achieving net zero whole life carbon across the built environment and propose a timeline of solutions. An industry-wide Steering Group is overseeing the Roadmap and providing strategic input throughout the process.
Applications for the Task Groups are being sought from within the UKGBC membership and across the real estate sector, covering a broad range of experience and knowledge in key net zero focus areas, for example:
Existing and emerging industry and academic research, consultation, evidence and policy recommendations in support of a net zero built environment
Technical feasibility and implementation challenges for domestic retrofit
Insulation and heat-pump implementation
Commercial and public building retrofit opportunities
Existing building facilities management and energy optimisation
Market incentivisation, regulation and the role of green finance
New build performance standards and data disclosure
Design approaches to minimise whole-life carbon of new development
Low carbon construction materials and supply chain innovation
Skills, training and education
Diverse individuals from any discipline within the construction and property industry are encouraged to apply. Applicants are expected to have 5+ years’ experience in the industry, or specific knowledge within a relevant topic area.
The deadline for applications is Friday 5 March 2021.
Access the Task Group Terms of Reference below for more information on the objectives, time commitment, and how to apply.
