What does the RICS's whole life carbon assessment (WLCA) 2nd edition mean for the built environment?

As this emerging carbon assessment method is growing in popularity, the need for the construction industry to understand it better is vital - after all this is making its way towards becoming part of national building regulations. This seminar will give an overview of the key changes and how they align with current and upcoming legislation, looking at all building and infrastructure types, including new-build, retrofit, and fit-out.

The event will be hosted by authors and collaborators of the standard, who will use their expertise to break down and decode the new changes into bite size updates.

If you would like to attend this event, please contact Nikita Patel.
