	There is a widespread perception within the UK that in-house company standards for infrastructure construction are complex, confusing and sometimes contradictory. Time and experience has shown that the often constraining codes and standards act as a barrier to innovation. The “traditional” approach of using standards and specifications to set out client requirements and subsequently detail design means designers and contractors do not have the necessary freedom to innovate. Reliability and a long track-record of any given design or construction methodology ordinarily take precedence.

In November 2011 the [http://www.ice.org.uk/ ICE](Institution of Civil Engineers) launched [http://www.ice.org.uk/getattachment/75ab26c8-fc21-40ef-a0d8-548dae834144/ICE-low-carbon-infrastructure-trajectory---2050.aspx Building a Sustainable Future – ICE low carbon infrastructure trajectory – 2050]. The report takes a whole-life view of infrastructure and considers how benefits can be maximised and carbon minimised.

The report set out 5 priorities aimed at government and industry and 5 commitments for the ICE. The Low Carbon Lifed Panel was established to deliver these ICE commitments, and is generating two outputs for launch in early 2014:
* The first output is a high level carbon footprinting standard for infrastructure projects to generate consistency and transparency in the use of carbon as part of a wider decision-making framework. It builds on the Panel’s expertise in using carbon footprinting as a value-adding tool and draws on European Standards for the Methodology for the Assessment of the Environmental Performance for Buildings.
*The second output is a thought piece on how to encourage the UK to innovate, lower costs and improve the whole-life value of infrastructure assets. It tackles the role of codes and standards, education and industry in the transition to a low-carbon economy.

There is a widespread perception within the UK that in-house company standards for infrastructure construction are complex, confusing and sometimes contradictory. Time and experience has shown that the often constraining codes and standards act as a barrier to innovation. The “traditional” approach of using standards and specifications to set out client requirements and subsequently detail design means designers and contractors do not have the necessary freedom to innovate. Reliability and a long track-record of any given design or construction methodology ordinarily take precedence.

Inevitably, achieving the right balance will not be straightforward. It requires a shift in mind-set from “we’ve always done it this way” to a collaborative discussion. Education is required beyond the realms of our universities. Clients, manufacturers, suppliers, users, contractors and consultants need to bring their expertise and experience together to provide the right framework for innovation and to allow adequate time for innovative design.

The Low Carbon Lifed Panel attempts to address some of these barriers and provide simple tools to drive the implementation of innovation to aid economic growth within an industry renowned for being set in its ways.
