Lee Jones, head of manufacturer solutions at NBS and acting head of sustainability at NBS\u2019 parent company Byggfakta Group, sheds some light on the reasons<\/h2>\n<p>Over the past few years, the construction industry has ramped up efforts to increase sustainability within its building practices. Yet results from NBS\u2019 Sustainable Futures show that, in fact, there\u2019s been a decline in the number of projects achieving lower carbon outcomes when compared to a similar report back in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>For all of us working in the construction industry, the notion of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/cop26-visual-intelligence-technologies-sustainability\/108398\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sustainability should be a high priority<\/a>, equal only to that of building safety. Yet surprisingly, the number of projects that have been reported to achieve sustainability has declined. NBS\u2019 recently launched <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenbs.com\/sustainable-futures-report-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sustainable Futures Report<\/a> found that the figure (6%) is less than half that (13%) as part of a similar study back in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>So, what factors are at play and what\u2019s preventing this number from increasing?<\/p>\n<h3>Identifying the barriers to achieving construction sustainability targets<\/h3>\n<p>One of the main barriers that was identified was a lack of demand from clients. Over half (52%) said this was the primary cause, followed closely by the cost of achieving sustainability (51%). It\u2019s important at this stage not to exclusively lay blame with the client. As construction professionals, it\u2019s our job to guide clients to the right decision and the results represent a greater need for specifiers to sustainability where appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the idea that sustainability is too expensive, the results also highlight some issues and misconceptions around cost. If factored into the early stages of a build, sustainable outcomes can be factored in without significant financial impact. What\u2019s more, specifiers must ensure they\u2019re taking into account the whole lifecycle of a building, including its operational phase when factoring cost versus sustainability performance.<\/p>\n<p>Also listed was the view that sustainable products are being \u201cvalue engineered\u201d out of projects (38%), suggesting that a short-term focus remains with the upfront cost being considered above the lifetime value. A lack of government policy and regulation (37%) was another barrier. A more considered push from government, particularly around sustainability legislation, could be the driver specifiers need to prioritise sustainability more often.<\/p>\n<h3>Sustainability perceptions<\/h3>\n<p>While these results go some way to explaining the situation, it\u2019s important to address the different perceptions that exist around sustainability, which can vary depending on the respondent\u2019s job role.<\/p>\n<p>One explanation for why numbers have declined is that people now have a greater understanding of sustainability since 2014, so they understand what\u2019s now needed to achieve it. Which, in turn, will provide a more accurate understanding of when sustainable outcomes have been achieved.<\/p>\n<p>For contractors, contractual risk was a barrier to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/bim-news\/sustainable-construction-lifecycle\/104048\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">achieving sustainability<\/a>. Given the issues we\u2019ve seen with supply chains and rising energy costs, caution remains around the need for specialist products which could cause projects to overrun. For suppliers, they are more likely to view sustainable products as being \u201cvalue engineered\u201d as a barrier, perhaps showing a need for further education with client and contractor stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, for clients, a major barrier was a lack of management commitment and a lack of sustainable performance information. Increased efforts on behalf of suppliers to highlight detailed product information could bring improvements in this area.<\/p>\n<h3>Establishing goals<\/h3>\n<p>The report also revealed the need for further goal setting. Seven out of 10 have worked on projects with construction sustainability targets at least some of the time but just 14% had seen targets all of the time and only a quarter (25%) most of the time.<\/p>\n<p>Over half had not worked on a single net zero project in the last 12 months and just 4% had all net zero projects within the last 12 months \u2013 worrying figures given the important energy targets which have been set for the next eight years.<\/p>\n<h3>The role of BIM<\/h3>\n<p>BIM is also playing a role in introducing sustainability to building projects. For over half of respondents (55%), BIM is making it easier to complete sustainability processes and calculations. Given that metrics are needed to measure sustainability, it\u2019s no surprise that construction professionals are utilising BIM. This idea is particularly prevalent among younger respondents, aged 18-34, who are more likely to harness digital methods within their working practices.<\/p>\n<h3>Making improvements in the construction industry<\/h3>\n<p>It is clear that the construction industry needs to do more if it\u2019s to improve the number of projects achieving lower carbon outcomes. There\u2019s no doubt that a key element to this is goal setting, which has to more prevalent throughout all areas of construction. Equally, greater levels of communication between designer, contractors and suppliers will go a long way to improving sustainability success rate as well as pinpointing responsibility at the start of a project.<\/p>\n<p>Reports of this kind are always crucial to progress \u2013 we now need to act on these findings and put the necessary steps in place so ensure the sector is doing all it can to lower emissions. The climate is counting on us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lee Jones<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-110982 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Lee-Jones-smalls-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"construction sustainability targets \" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Lee-Jones-smalls-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Lee-Jones-smalls-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Lee-Jones-smalls-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Lee-Jones-smalls-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Lee-Jones-smalls-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Lee-Jones-smalls-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Lee-Jones-smalls-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Lee-Jones-smalls.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Head of manufacturer solutions<\/p>\n<p>NBS<\/p>\n<p>Tel: +44 (0)345 456 9594<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:info@theNBS.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">info@theNBS.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenbs.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.thenbs.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Twitter:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/theNBS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@theNBS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>LinkedIn: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/nbs_3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NBS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Facebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thenbscom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">thenbscom<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why are fewer people reporting achieving construction sustainability targets than in 2014?
