The Sustainable Futures Group exists to relate sustainability to the profession and to inform members of the development of RIBA policy, educational and professional standards and practical services to promote sustainable design.
The group is made up of invited experts on sustainable construction, principally architects with track records in the delivery of projects at the forefront of sustainable design, but also, when appropriate, from related professional, research and academic backgrounds.
