Print articleGreen Book Live is a free online database designed to help planners and end users identify products and services that can help to reduce their impact on the environment.
Green Book Live brings together listings from a number of organisations and delivers comprehensive information on 'green' products and services, some approved to stringent environmental requirements and others based on information provided by manufacturers and trade bodies.
Construction plays a significant role in the UK economy and the overall environmental impact is considerable. Just over half the UK's total carbon dioxide emissions are attributed to buildings. The correct identification and specification of products and services could significantly help to reduce the impact of the construction industry on the environment.
Green Book Live provides planners and end users with an opportunity to select products and services which demonstrate their commitment to environmental best practice.
A wide range of products and services, from commercial building products and services to domestic energy efficiency products can be found within Green Book Live:
* BREEAM Assessors - BRE Environmental Assessment Method
* Clear Skies (Microgeneration) - Energy generation products and installers
* Competent Persons for Building CO2 Emission Rate Calculation
* Energy Saving Recommended - Domestic energy saving products
* Environmental Profiles - Construction product life cycle assessment
* ISO 14001 Certified companies - Environmental management systems
