Secondly, there is a full guide setting out some fundamental principles to deliver more sustainable buildings. It emphasises the importance of influencing the brief and adopting a strategic approach. Finally, there is an online searchable database of good-practice guidance to enable users to generate a shortlist of measures related to a specific sustainability issue and pick those that are suitable for a particular building.
