If passed, the Carbon Emissions (Buildings) Bill would require the full life-cycle carbon emissions of buildings to be reported and would set limits on the embodied carbon from construction materials. It aims to drive lower emissions from both constructing and operating buildings by making carbon data transparent and by restricting high-embodied-carbon materials. The bill is at an early stage in the Commons.
The bill is currently at the 2nd reading in the House of Commons, with the latest listed readings in November 2022 and February 2023; no further stages are listed here.
