		+	Developed in partnership with organisations operating across every part of the construction sector, the Built Environment Carbon Database (BECD) is free-to-access and designed to become the main source of carbon estimating and benchmarking for the industry. But we need your help. The success of our collective efforts to combat climate change is dependent on collaboration across the industry. We need to share our knowledge and learning and, critically, we need to share our data.

The built environment contributes around 38% of total global emissions. We have a climate emergency, and the UK construction industry faces a seismic challenge as we strive towards net zero emissions.

Reducing our impact on the environment starts with achieving consistency in how we report and measure emissions and supporting that measurement with up-to-date accessible data.

In November 2021 a consortium made up of The Carbon Trust, CIBSE, CIOB, CIC, ICE, RIBA, RICS, IStructE and the UKGBC launched a collaboration to develop the Built Environment Carbon Database (BECD) for the UK. The database is envisioned to become the main source of carbon estimating and benchmarking for the UK construction sector and a practical instrument to support the decarbonisation of the built environment.

The database will be developed to collect and supply product data and entity level data to the industry through its own portal and by interacting with existing databases and software solutions.

In mid 2022 BECD entered the consultation phase of the project. This will be key to establishing a database that collaboratively delivers the needs of the UK industry. The first part of this collaboration is to obtain industry feedback on the data structure of the entity-level database, i.e. the type of data that the database for buildings and infrastructure will collect.
