A Vision For Data In The Built Environment: Transforming Sustainability Reporting
Sustainability reporting in the built environment is facing increasing complexity, driven by rising transparency demands, fragmented data requirements, and misaligned reporting standards. The absence of a common digital framework for building and product data is creating inefficiencies, raising costs, and impeding progress toward decarbonisation and circularity.
“A Vision for Data in the Built Environment: Transforming Sustainability Reporting” presents the findings of a cross-sector workshop convened by BPIE, UCL, the Building Passport Alignment Project, the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC), and Demo-BLog. The report explores how a harmonised, interoperable data ecosystem could reduce reporting burdens, improve decision-making, and accelerate the transition to a sustainable built environment.
