RIBA

The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has developed voluntary performance targets for operational energy use, water use and embodied carbon. The targets for residential buildings set for 2030 are as follows[32]:

 Operational Energy <35 kWh/m2 /y;  Embodied Carbon <625 kgCO2e/m2 ;  Potable Water Use <75 l/person/day;  daylighting >2% avg. daylight factor, 0.4 uniformity  Total VOCs <0.3 mg.m3  Formaldehyde <0.1 mg/m3

However, it the largest architectural companies in the UK develop their own measurement systems and there is a lack of acceptance of the RIBA targets.
