Balance - Website Launch
May 28th 2025

We're thrilled to launch our new website for the Balance white paper by Anderson Bell Christie Architects:
www.balance.andersonbellchristie.com
The Balance white paper outlines a roadmap for achieving carbon balance in Scotland through innovative legislative changes. Our vision includes flood risk mitigation, urban heating reduction, improved air quality, and enhanced wellbeing.
Key proposals:
• Standard embodied carbon measurement and assessment.
• Embodied carbon limit of 150kgCO2e/m² by 2045 (stages A-D excluding biogenic carbon).
• Deconstruction industry and materials mining database.
• Enforceable material reuse requirements.
• Standard sequestration measurement and assessment.
• Comprehensive tree surveys and management plans.
• Protection for all documented trees.
• Holistic net zero local development plans by 2040.
