ICMS3 LAUNCHED ON 29 NOVEMBER
On 29 November the International Cost Management Standard – or ICMS3 – was launched. This ICMS3 sets out a methodology for construction professionals and developers to account the amount of embodied carbon their projects will create, whether that’s through the delivery of new roads, schools, offices, housing or railways. An estimated 40% of global carbon emissions are emitted every year through the construction of new buildings and infrastructure, and the industry has accepted it must adapt in order to meet the pressing need to avert climate catastrophe.
