This report is intended to contribute to strengthening the work of the Government, the Strategic Forum and the Specialist Engineering Alliance in bringing about a more integrated and a more sustainable industry. Its aim is to examine the potential for improving the sustainability of the built environment through an integrated approach to procurement and delivery, in which the role of the specialist engineering sector is recognised for its vital ability to improve building performance. Based on wide ranging knowledge and expertise across the construction sector, it puts forward a vision for sustainable buildings and sets out the actions needed from Government, clients, consultants, contractors and manufacturers to ensure the vision is realised. The report complements the Strategy for Sustainable Construction published by the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (June 2008). The SEA is made up of members from: Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) Association for the British Electrotechnical Industry (BEAMA) Association for Consultancy and Engineering (ACE) Building Services Research and Information Association (BSRIA) Specialist Engineering Contractors (SEC) Group Federation of Environmental Trade Associations (FETA)
