Welcome to Sustainable Building Resource.

We aim to create an interactive web based information resource for anyone wishing to learn about sustainable building. Anyone can view, add to and edit the content; making it a constantly evolving resource full of the latest products, cutting edge techniques and ideas in the highly competitive and constantly changing world of sustainable building.

Do you know about sustainable building, then we need your help. We intend to bring together people from all areas, from DIYers, self builders to architects, to contribute and inform others. We want you to share your knowledge and experience, warn users of common pitfalls, generic problems and innovative solutions. Find out how click here. Your contribution is vital over the coming months so that we can populate the wiki with enough information to make it worthy of a launch to a wider public in early 2009.

We have created a basic framework for the wiki, so please follow this as much as possible, but we realise that we have not covered all the topics possible and so feel free to create new pages.
