Mr Woodley will represent the interests of Timber and other construction materials.
This is one of four key interest areas identified for the Group's attention: the other three are Water, Energy and Waste Reduction.
The aim of the Task Group is to examine these four areas and to make recommendations to improve the quality of buildings in terms of environmental performance, in support of sustainable development in new communities and in refurbishment and renewal.
UKTFA Chairman Mr Steve Hutchinson said " I am delighted that this important new Group has recognized the key role of timber in sustainable construction and has invited UKTFA Chief Executive Bryan Woodley to represent the interests of timber and other construction materials." Bryan Woodley added " As the world's only truly renewable standard construction material, timber has a vital role to play in delivering homes fit for the 21st century.".
