A new strategy paper created by the Scottish Futures Trust and The Hub has outlined the benefits of creating a National Metrics Library for the UK\u2019s built environment<\/h2>\n

According to the paper, a National Metrics Library will help to improve new and existing assets by making it easier to measure their performance.<\/p>\n

The Scottish Futures Trust and the Construction Innovation Hub<\/a> began to explore the possibility in 2019.<\/p>\n

The performance of the built environment is vital to the country\u2019s economy, wider society and net zero goals.<\/a> Currently, it accounts for 40% of energy use and 30% of greenhouse gases globally.<\/p>\n

According to Ian Nicholson, project lead, a metrics library will ‘facilitate greater collaboration, alignment and dissemination’ for performance measurement.<\/p>\n

A library for national metrics in construction would consolidate existing and future methods of measuring performance. This could be offered through free digital resources, which will be open to all industry and client bodies.<\/p>\n

The working group\u2019s recommendation will now be considered by professional institutions to develop a plan for development and launch.<\/p>\n

Paul Dodd, Scottish Futures Trust\u2019s head of infrastructure technology and improving project delivery: \u201cThe National Metrics Library will be a place where users can easily identify things they can measure to assess the performance of their assets, along with details on how to measure them.<\/p>\n

“It will support coordination, innovation, knowledge sharing and dissemination of best practice to improve how we measure sustainable performance across the asset lifecycle.”<\/p>\n
