The UK Green Building Council (UKGBC): Further reading
The UKGBC, together with the World Green Building Council, several European Green Building Councils, Climate Alliance and the Buildings Performance Institute Europe, has published a framework to support cities and local authorities to measure the impacts and wider benefits of building retrofit.
The Build Upon Framework defines a suite of environmental, social and economic indicators that can be measured in a simple, standardised way at either a city or project level.
From energy consumption to the indoor health of occupants, the 13 indicators can be applied flexibly across a project or city and provide clear guidance on what issues local authorities can and should measure.
It has been developed by a coalition of sustainability organisations and in collaboration with over 30 cities and local authorities across Europe, including Leeds, Cambridge, Hammersmith & Fulham and Essex County Council.
