As SKArating evolves, the Energy measures remain a critical issue in shaping sustainable fit-out projects -and it’s not standing still. Recent updates mark a shift toward more accurate impact prioritisation, better performance accountability, and smarter energy-related decision-making throughout the project lifecycle. Bringing the scheme in line with the strategic aims of SKArating; to align all projects to Net Zero carbon targets and 100% Circularity. With these as our key aims, the updated SKArating scheme brings a sharper focus to energy performance, efficient use of energy, and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in general - not just in design, but in delivery and operation.

Energy: What’s Changing and Why It Matters

Over the past year, we’ve been working on some important updates to the SKArating Offices scheme to ensure it continues to reflect good practice in sustainable interior fit-outs. To support this, we’ll be publishing a series of blog posts over the coming weeks, each focusing on one of the Impact Categories and the proposed updates that are happening within Good Practice Measures (GPMs) in each category. The first category we are focusing on is Energy & CO2.
