日本語
本論文は、英国の建築環境における体化炭素排出削減のための既存政策と業界基準を概観し、自主的な全ライフサイクル炭素基準がプロジェクト開発者にサプライチェーンとの協働を促し、設計最適化や低炭素代替材の採用、建設物流の最適化を促進することを示す。3つの英国プロジェクトの事例から、基準が将来のプロジェクトに与える影響を報告し、データの信頼性と一貫性の欠如という課題を指摘する。ネットゼロ目標達成にはより厳格な規制と政策が必要であり、グローバルなデータ共有のシステム的アプローチが不可欠と結論づける。
English
This paper reviews UK policies and industry standards for embodied carbon reduction in buildings, showing how voluntary whole-life carbon standards drive project developers to collaborate with supply chains on design optimization, low-carbon substitutes, and logistics. Using three UK projects, it reports the influence on future projects and highlights challenges of data credibility and inconsistency. It concludes that stricter regulations and a systems approach to global data sharing are needed for scalable impact toward net zero.

日本のGX文脈において
日本では、建築物の脱炭素化が進む中、体化炭素の算定・開示はまだ発展途上であり、本論文のUK事例は、自主基準がサプライチェーン協働を促すメカニズムを示す点で参考になる。日本の建設業界が今後、全ライフサイクル炭素評価を導入する際の示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
Globally, embodied carbon is gaining attention in building regulations and disclosure frameworks (e.g., EU Level(s), UK RICS). This paper provides empirical evidence from UK practice on how voluntary standards influence supply-chain collaboration and project outcomes, offering insights for policymakers and practitioners in other geographies aiming to scale embodied carbon reduction.

📄 Abstract（原文）
This paper provides an overview of existing policies and industry standards for embodied carbon emissions reduction in the built environment in the UK, and how aspiring project developers to adhere to voluntary industry standards, which is based on whole life carbon approach, is driving project developers to work collaboratively with their supply chain to incorporate low embodied carbon considerations such as design optimisation, considering low carbon substitutes, or optimising construction logistics. Using a practice example, from three UK projects, the paper reports on the influence the whole life carbon information and the standard’s requirements has on all the future projects the developer has planned. The paper also discusses practical challenges encountered in calculating carbon emissions due to credibility and inconsistent data availability on construction materials and products, globally. The paper concludes that while the voluntary standard can positively influence projects, achieving scalable impact to meet net zero targets requires stricter regulations and workable policies, and is relevant to all geographies. For the policies and regulations to succeed though, a systems approach to create, share and use construction materials and construction products data across the global supply chain is needed to limit current frustrations around data and time consuming methods that practitioners in the building design and construction industry face.
