Article summary

The UK Green Building Council (UKGBC), the World Green Building Council, seven European Green Building Councils, Climate Alliance and the Buildings Performance Institute Europe have published the Build Upon Framework. The framework aims to help cities and local authorities measure the impact and benefits that the retrofitting and renovation of buildings can have on their area, as well as helping them meet their net zero targets. The framework consists of 13 environmental, social and economic indicators which can be applied across cities or projects and which provide guidance on what issues local authorities can and should measure.
