The Green Guide

The Green Guide to Specification is an easy-to-use publication, providing guidance for specifiers, designers and their clients on the relative environmental impacts of over 250 elemental specifications for roofs, walls, floors and fenestration.

The main environmental impact of windows is from the heat loss through them. Attention is drawn to the large number of credits available in BREEAM, the Code for Sustainable Homes and EcoHomes for reducing fabric heat loss and improving operational CO2 emissions compared to the small number available for materials specification.

The guide operates on a rating system with A+ ratings having the lowest overall environmental impact, followed by A, then B, C, D and E.
