Debate and discuss the latest green issues as well as share information and tips on sustainable design and construction in our New green forum site

Building online users can now access a new forum to debate sustainability design legislation and construction as well as share information, advice and tips.

The New green forum site, launched today, will cover everything from the Code for Sustainable Homes and Energy Performance Certificates to the performance of the latest biomass boiler or pv panel.

Duo of debates

The forum starts with two main debates: a discussion led by global sustainability expert Ché Wall on the efficacy of sustainable legislation, and a debate on the relative merits of the BRE. Watch out for a fresh debate that will be launched every week.

There will also be a Any Green Questions section which gives you the opportunity to ask anything you want about sustainability, from definitions to queries about technologies, products or legislation.
