UK Green Building Council

'Sustainability' and 'green buildings' are buzzwords among building operators and developers. The recent launch of the new United Kingdom Green Building Council (UKGBC) is likely to increase awareness even further. The Green Building movement is becoming increasingly important as architects and developers strive to find ways of constructing and managing buildings in a sustainable, environmentally-friendly fashion.

As a company, we have long promoted the use of plants as being an integral part of sustainable building management, which is why Ambius is a member of the UKGBC.

Ambius works hard within the UKGBC to promote greater awareness of the benefits of interior and exterior landscaping and, hopefully, to ensure that they feature as a recognised, measurable component of new green building rating schemes.

Ambius promotes sustainability and environmental responsibility. Membership of the UKGBC is a public declaration of our support for this movement. We join our colleagues in the USA and Australia who are already members of their respective countries' green building councils in promoting the use of plants in and around buildings for the benefit of people and the wider environment.

Ambius has a range of products and services that can help developers achieve their sustainability goals. More importantly, they allow building operators to deliver environments that enhance the experience of the end user.
