The Construction Industry Council (CIC) Climate Change Committee (Workstream 10) working with the Edge think tank, the support of the University College for Estate Management (UCEM) and an industry-wide Advisory Panel has developed a draft Competence Framework for sustainability in the built environment. The Framework is a Seed Document for an eventual British Standard intended to form part of its BS 8670 Competence series and is being published for public consultation and comment.
The Standard covers all aspects of sustainability for built environment and infrastructure provision, including associated external and landscape works, for the full breadth of professions and trades in the sector. It is an overarching framework for the development of discipline-specific competency frameworks.
The Draft Competence Framework can be downloaded from the Edge website here.
Comments on the Framework should be sent to the Edge at contact@edgedebate.com before the close of the consultation period on 16th November 2024.
