Developed by the sector – comprising of developers, manufacturers and whole life carbon experts – the Future Homes Hub Whole Life Carbon Conventions for New Homes help businesses across the sector to share and report whole life carbon assessments on a consistent basis.
The WLC Conventions for new homes:
- Are aligned with RICS Professional Standard 2nd edition and applicable to all dwelling types and new homes development sites.
- Drive consistency of WLC assessment outputs by agreeing the assumptions, default material data and measurement conventions relevant for new homes sector.
- Help the sector move towards mainstream measurement and disclosure – building awareness and engaging the mass market.
The Conventions reference the same core methodology defined by EN 15978 and RICS PS 2023 and can be used with any commercial assessment tool.
