There are four strands that make up the Combating Climate Change programme from the RIBA. These are:
- Setting carbon targets
- Creating a Low Carbon RIBA
- Climate Change Toolkits
- Campaigning for a Low Carbon UK
Architects are facing steadily tougher regulation about how energy efficient buildings must be, have ever-more environmentally aware and demanding clients, and themselves want to play their part through their work.
The RIBA Climate Change Toolkits provide guidance on the principles, tools and techniques necessary to design and build low carbon buildings, and adaptive, flood resilient design, and to advise clients on what is possible.
