Green Compliance

The need for “Green Compliance” has never been as urgent

With the price of fuel escalating and the urgency to address climate change compliance around green standards has never been in as much demand.

When we launched in 2020 it was our aim to be the certification body of choice within the wider construction sector, with a strong focus around standards that support the drive of decarbonisation and energy efficiency.

Not just a certificate

Gaining compliance and certification is not just about showcasing to stakeholders that your organisation is serious about green strategies – but a real opportunity to:

  • Perform better as an organisation
  • Be more efficient, increasing profit margins
  • Qualify for frameworks, funding and contracts

Which certification is right for your organisation?

 

Who needs this?

Most organisations that are responsible for their own energy use, such as office facilities, hospitals, retail and leisure parks, schools and universities, industrial and manufacturing plants.

What it is

The new ISO 50001 standard for energy management systems can help safeguard our future by making a positive difference in the here and now.

ISO 50001 provides a framework of requirements for organisations to:

  • Develop a policy for more efficient use of energy
  • Fix targets and objectives to meet the policy
  • Use data to better understand and make decisions about energy use
  • Measure the results
  • Review how well the policy works, and
  • Continually improve energy management

 

Who needs this?

Contractors who install insulation, windows, gas and electrical measures relating to making a building more energy efficient.

What it is

Contractors are moving quickly to gain PAS 2030 alongside TrustMark registration as more and more framework agreements and contracts are emerging stating the need to have certification for PAS 2030.

 

Who needs this?

Installers, designers, architects and principle contractors who are responsible for the design of the retrofit of energy efficiency measures in domestic buildings.

What it is

PAS 2035 is the requirement around the assessment and design of an energy efficiency retrofit installation. This is interlinked to PAS 2030.

 

Who needs this?

Designers, architects and principle contractors who are responsible for the design of the retrofit of energy efficiency measures in commercial buildings.

What it is

Published in 2021, PAS 2038 this is crucial in driving down the energy use in existing building stock. With commercial buildings being much more complex than domestic, this standard helps on the impact of energy use within hospitals, schools, retail parks, leisure facilities and office space via the retrofit of energy efficiency measures.

 

Who needs this?

Most organisations have an impact on the environment and ISO 14001 is suitable for a wide range of businesses.

What it is

ISO 14001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for an effective environmental management system (EMS). It provides a framework that an organisation can follow to help drive efficiencies across the business.

 

Who needs this?

Architects, designers, contractors and facilities management. It is quickly becoming a recognised standard across the globe for those in the built environment.

What it is

Working within ISO 19650 showcases that your organisation works towards best practice within a construction and facilities management program.

It also enables your business to reduce unnecessary costs through wasted resources and time, also having a positive impact on the environment.

PAS 2038 Webinar

With the launch of PAS 2038 in August of this year, we are hosting a free one hour webinar to help organisations gain an understanding to what the standard is and how you would go about gaining certification.

15 December 2021 @ 10am

The background

The objectives of government to work towards a carbon neutral UK, the energy that existing building stock uses needs to be addressed – quickly.

With the launch of PAS 2030 and PAS 2035, existing homes have been the main focus of funding and various schemes over these last few years.

The launch of PAS 2038 focuses on the commercial aspect of the retrofit of energy efficiency measures to existing commercial buildings.

What does this mean to your business?

If you are working within the construction sector and provide any sort of services to existing building stock  then it is likely that you should join our webinar.

Being compliant to PAS 2038 will ensure your business is equipped to meet a growing market. There are four great reasons why you should consider understanding more about PAS 2038 and adopting the processes to meet it:

#1 Gain a competitive advantage

This is a relatively new standard, and it is only early adopters who are currently underway with gaining and demonstrating compliance.

#2 Pre-qualification for tenders

The requirements to demonstrate that your organisation meets the standard is appearing in public sector and large private sector tenders already.

#3 Introduction of an Energy Efficiency Retrofit Offering

Introduction of a new offering around decarbonisation within your organisation will open up new opportunities.

#4 Decarbonisation within construction is a growing market

The opportunities for construction and facility management companies within decarbonisation are growing due to the drive of net zero.

Benefits to PAS 2035 and PAS 2038

The benefits to the adoption of PAS 2035 and PAS 2038 are vast for organisations that provide services around the enhancement of existing building stock.

Both standards cover the assessment and design of energy efficiency measures; PAS 2035 covers domestic buildings and PAS 2038 for commercial buildings. PAS 2030 is the installation aspect following on from PAS 2035 and PAS 2038.

The benefits of PAS 2035 and PAS 2038

#1 Sponsored by the UK Government’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) the standards are seen as key elements in the fight against climate change. Any contractor that provides services around enhancing existing building stock should demonstrate their understanding and implementation of the standards.

#2 Having in place standardised outcomes of design processes across the business ensures a smooth handover process for the installation of retrofit of energy efficiency measures.

#3 Having in place processes that meet the standards provide greater internal audit trail of the project management processes across the assessment and design aspect of retrofit; enabling continuous improvement of the effectiveness of installation of energy efficiency measures.

#4 Implementing PAS 2035 and PAS 2038 reduces risk of internal and supply chain retrofit defects, therefore saving cost, resource and time across each project.

#5 Implementing the standards will promote cross skilling and up-skilling of the supply chain, enhancing resilience and quality throughout.

#6 Having in place the standards will demonstrate leading the way for de-carbonisation within existing building stock providing a competitive edge.

The Difference Between PAS 2038 PAS 2035 and PAS 2030

In August 2021, PAS 2038:2019 was released.

With the objectives of government to work towards a carbon neutral UK, the energy that existing building stock uses needs to be addressed – quickly.

With the launch of PAS 2030 and PAS 2035, existing homes have been the main focus of funding and various schemes over these last few years.

The launch of PAS 2038 focuses on the commercial aspect.

What are the differences and what does this mean to your business?

There is already PAS 2030 and PAS 2035, so what are the differences with this new standard and which one does your business need?
