The Chartered Institute of Building
'Green 300'
The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) has awarded 300 members Chartered Environmentalist status.
Michael Brown CIOB deputy chief executive said, "Construction is an environmental industry and its importance to such issues like sustainability, energy efficiency and climate change cannot be underestimated" "We know that the buildings we live and work in are the largest source of carbon emissions and our members and other professionals can be part of the solution to that problem"

Applications to join building courses up to mid-January had risen by 16 per cent. Civil engineering courses are up by 25 per cent and architecture by 15 per cent.
"When we talk about the environment and those topics that challenge us like climate change we should also remember that these are international issues and not just local ones.
So it is with some pride that we have CIOB members in the UK and abroad who are qualified Chartered Environmentalists".
"We see the role of the Chartered Environmentalist as an important part in the promotion of those values and beliefs that the construction industry needs to positively embrace".
To become a 'Chartered Environmentalist' a CIOB member must be able to demonstrate (through qualifications and experience) competence, knowledge and engagement in sustainable environmental management and development.
The CIOB was granted a license by the Society for the Environment to award Chartered Environmentalist status.
