Session Description:
Actors from across the built environment are making progress on meeting their climate and resilience goals. Verifying progress on these actions demands trustworthy data capture and exchange across global supply participants and local implementations and operations. Participants in the buildings and construction sector have made significant investments in technology and data generation is expanding considerably. However, much of the data generated is often compartmentalised, being specific to regulation, discipline, platform or lifecycle stage and is not accessible for reuse—particularly to provide a holistic picture at the building, portfolio or sector level. The data and regulatory complexity creates challenges for regulators and the regulated, where uncertainty and lack of transparency increases the risk of greenwashing.
The presentation will share the journey of the International Code Council and Standards Australia in recognizing the need for a Universal Data Protocol that allows for the interoperable use of data, in an open source format, from across the built environment to support robust and reliable reporting against climate and other performance goals. It will include discussion on the path forward to realizing such an approach and the importance of engagement and collaboration from across the built environment value chain.
