The Construction Industry Council is to set up a new Green Construction Panel and is seeking members of its constituent professional bodies, including the CIOB, to head it up.
The terms of reference of the Green Construction Panel are yet to be agreed but are likely to include:
- Advising the CIC Council and the Executive Board on issues relating to sustainability, carbon reduction and all other green construction issues;
- Linking and coordinating the green construction activities of CIC members and other associated bodies of the construction industry, and in particular, act as an interface with the Green Construction Board;
- Identifying and promoting green construction policy and activities in the construction industry, to benefit society. Encourage their implementation, funding, dissemination and exploitation, including strategic aspects;
- Improving the perception and image of the construction industry.
There has been widespread criticism that the activities of government’s Green Construction Board are not being communicated to the industry so the setting up of a CIC group is expected to be welcomed.
