PAS 2080 is the globally
recognised standard for
managing whole-life carbon
in the built environment.
Developed by BSI, it provides a
framework for reducing carbon
emissions across the entire
lifecycle of infrastructure – from
strategic planning and design
to construction, operation, and
decommissioning.
“Public Sector bodies are under
increasing pressure to deliver
infrastructure that is not only
cost-effective but also aligned
with net-zero targets,” said
Duncan Price, Partner, Global
Sustainability & Climate Lead,
Buro Happold.
