One important aspect to include is that Developers should meet net zero regulated and unregulated energy BEFORE looking to meet Embodied Energy targets as this is important in terms of cost of living and fuel poverty. Developers must not be allowed to offset Embodied carbon savings against energy and carbon efficiency.

The Passivhaus Trust will have guidance about embodied carbon targets available in 2025.

It is good to see that the SWLP is going beyond building regulations for Embodied Carbon. I see no mention of the negativity around the viability argument that Developers will put up.

IMPORTANT: However as this plan is to 2050 all the best practice listed is only up to 2030. How is the plan going to deal with what best practice will be in the 20 years from 2030 to 2050?

The RIBA Good Practice 2025 Targets are mentioned. As the Plan is going to 2050 the 2030 challenge targets should be included.

Benchmarks need to include the developing bet practice from the NZCBuildings Standard.
