Net Zero Carbon Toolkit

At Corporate Management Committee on 21 March 2024, the Council adopted the Runnymede Net Zero Carbon Toolkit. This is adapted to reflect the Councils own policy framework and local circumstances from the original toolkit commissioned by The Forest of Dean, Cotswold and West Oxfordshire District Councils, and has been designed to assist building professionals and homeowners in the planning, design and construction of both new build and retrofit housing projects.

Pulling together the latest guidance and best practice, the Toolkit provides a useful technical, go-to guide on what to consider in the very early stages of design; how to achieve fabric efficiency; what systems to include; where to go for expert advice; and what to consider once you’ve finished your housing project. Find out more about the toolkit on our website.
