AECB

The objective and aims of the AECB is to facilitate environmentally responsible practices within building.

Specifically the AECB aims to:-

• promote the use of products and materials which are safe, healthy and sustainable
• encourage members projects that respect, protect and enhance the environment
• make available comprehensive information and guidance about products, methods and projects
• support the interests and endeavours of members in achieving these aims

In addition the AECB has launched the CarbonLite Programme which is a practical step-by-step guide aimed all those practitioners involved in the design, construction and use of low-energy, low-CO₂ emissions buildings. The Programme is designed to be clear, informative and impartial, and outlines the reasons behind the need for more sustainable building practices, as well as providing wide-ranging yet detailed guidance on the ways in which this change is best achieved.

Through its unique combination of research materials, technical data, training programmes, discussion forums and useful links and contacts, the CarbonLite Programme represents an essential resource in the building sector’s drive towards low-carbon living and the legislation that will regulate it.
