The first of its kind in the construction industry, the 64-page guide helps put sustainability into practice for both new builds and the refurbishment of existing buildings.
The Climate Week Awards celebrate the UK’s most innovative, effective, and ambitious organisations, communities and individuals and their outstanding efforts to combat climate change. This year, Jewson's pioneering Sustainable Building Guide was shortlisted at the prestigious ceremony. The guide provides advice on current and upcoming legislation, Government incentives as well as a comprehensive overview of sustainable products and practices.
"Jewson has long pioneered issues of sustainability in the industry and we are absolutely delighted that the Sustainable Building Guide has been recognised in the Climate Week Awards," commented Malcolm Gough, Market Director of Sustainability at Jewson.
"The objective of the guide was clear: to provide construction professionals with clear and unbiased guidance on how to adapt day-to-day working practices to ensure a more sustainable build. It has proved extremely popular with our customers and it will continue to play an integral part in Jewson's drive to promote and support sustainable building."
The Sustainable Building Guide covers foundations, flooring, walls, insulation, timber, windows, roofs and water management and includes a wide range of ‘green’ products, ensuring users are able to make informed decisions and gain easy access to the right materials.
In addition, it also covers a comprehensive range of renewable systems and details of the Greenworks Training Academy, which provides unbiased training and consultancy support on a variety of sustainable solutions via e-learning and practical multi-disciplinary courses.
