Building Research Establishment: Further reading
The Building Research Establishment (BRE) has published its Manifesto for 2024, calling on the next Government to commit to world-leading standards for British buildings.
Key asks include encouraging 'micro' investment zones to develop clusters of excellence in net zero research, embracing technologies like AI to enable improved planning and retrofit programmes, and enabling government collaboration with low carbon entrepreneurs to ensure innovative products meet sustainability standards.
BRE's Manifesto calls for the incoming Government to commit to issuing a White Paper on building standards within six months of taking office. This would outline a new strategy to power investment in better buildings by providing long-term certainty for owners, occupiers, supply chains, and investors.
